<mainDescription>&lt;p>&#xD;
A change set is a logical grouping of related changes made to the implementation and supporting artifacts. Change sets&#xD;
are defined for a specific purpose and encompass all changes made to achieve that purpose.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
Change sets allow for multiple related changes to be referred to as single item, simplifying tracking of&amp;nbsp;that&#xD;
item’s progress through the development lifecycle.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
The change set forms the basic unit of configuration control, accountability, and collaboration on the development&#xD;
team.&amp;nbsp; Additionally, change sets track the dependencies between artifact changes that facilitate discovery and&#xD;
correction of configuration inconsistencies. The relationship between items in a change set can be used to verify that&#xD;
all related changes have been included in a build.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
Change sets have the following characteristics:&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ol>&#xD;
&lt;li>&#xD;
Change sets consist of changes that belong together and can be built and tested together.&#xD;
&lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;li>&#xD;
Change sets are owned by a single developer.&#xD;
&lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;li>&#xD;
Change sets represent small, testable changes to the system.&#xD;
&lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ol>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
Multiple change sets&amp;nbsp;may be&amp;nbsp;related to&amp;nbsp;a single work item.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
Change sets are also known as CM tasks, activity change sets, change lists or change packages.&#xD;
