The ability to script the INSTALLATION and reconfiguration of software systems is ESSENTIAL towards controlled and automated change. Although there is an increasing trend for new software to enable this, older systems and products suffer from the assumption that changes would be infrequent and minor, and so make automated changes difficult. As a PROFESSIONAL who appreciates the need to expose configuration and settings in a manner ACCESSIBLE to automation, I will work with concepts like Inversion of Control (IoC) and Dependency Injection, scripted installation, test harnesses, separation of concerns, command-line tools, and INFRASTRUCTURE as code.
