The study describes the approach for effective reuse-oriented release configuration process aimed at supporting and effective maintenance of information technology products. Rather often the project is in the situation when there are multiple unsolved or not properly tested changes on the product release date, that were originally planned to be included into the upcoming product version by project management. The main objective of the study is to identify and implement the effective automated solution for building high-quality releases that include not all, but only tested changes. The developed algorithm produces the list of components to be included into the release build based on the list of changes planned for the upcoming release and information from the project code version control and defect tracking systems.
