The Unify JADE Code Management System is based around the concept of identifying code changes in a JADE system that relate to a single issue and extracting the code changes to Schema (.scm) and Form (.ddb). The code changes are specified files using Parameter (.unl) files.
Each work unit is extracted to a separate issue directory.

These code changes are then compared to different system versions.
The comparison process is assisted by the following components of the Unify JADE Code Management System:
- Jade 2 Text - converting the code changes into a readable format that can be displayed with a standard code comparison tool.
- JADE Development System Builder - creating fresh development systems from archived releases.
- JADE Automated Extractor - generating prior code versions for an issue.
- Unify Development Environment - providing a support structure for issue management.
