Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to software configuration management and provide a method, system and apparatus for producing audited builds based on separate class dependency records. In one embodiment, a software configuration management tool can be provided which can include build-audit logic programmed to produce separate configuration records for each target object in a build. Each configuration record can include a direct dependency reference for a corresponding target object. Moreover, each configuration record can include version information for a corresponding target object. Finally, the software configuration management tool can include a versioned object base storing different versions of source files and derived objects built from the source files.
