Throughout numerous analyses and proposals of the capabilities of the Lyee methodology for software development there has been done a lot of work concerning how Lyee works, what its benefits are, and what its perspectives will be. Most of the time this has been done in relation to automated software generation. But concerning all the proposed benefits and the announced major breakthrough Lyee would be for software development, Lyee has also positioned itself in direct concurrence to traditional, already established software development models. The intention of this article is to put the Lyee technology into perspective to established software technologies, which is done at the example of a comparison of the Lyee and the Catalysis approach for software development.

Based on the static structure of Lyee programs, a configuration management concept for Lyee software projects is presented. After describing a modularization concept which is vital for configuration management, the configuration management concept itself is elaborated by showing the involved elements and procedures. Finally, the structure of the actual configuration management tool is presented and discussed.
