Configuration ManagementConfiguration Management System Roundtable’s configuration management system identifies and defines software development objects, controls changes to software objects at each stage, records and reports the status of objects and verifies the completeness and correctness of procedures. Taken altogether, these features satisfy the fundamental objective of configuration management which is to establish and maintain the integrity and control of all aspects of the software application development process throughout the complete project life cycle. Configuration Management Software In simple terms, configuration management software must satisfy four primary requirements: Configuration Identification, Configuration Control, Configuration Auditing and Configuration Status Accounting. Identification ensures that you have identified a relative arrangement of software application resources. Control defines who can make changes and at what point in the software development lifecycle those changes can be made. Auditing is the process of confirming that all system components that should be in a given baseline are in the baseline. Finally, status accounting ensures that a complete record of changes made to a software system and the reasons for those changes are available. |
