Physical configuration audit. In computer engineering, a physical configuration audit (PCA) is the formal examination of the "as-built" configuration of a configuration item (CI) against its technical documentation to establish or verify the CI's product baseline. The PCA is used to examine the actual configuration of the CI that is ...
Configuration audits; These terms and definitions change from standard to standard, but are essentially the same. Configuration identification is the process of identifying the attributes that define every aspect of a configuration item. A configuration item is a product (hardware and/or software) that has an end-user purpose.
In configuration management, a baseline is an agreed description of the attributes of a product, at a point in time, which serves as a basis for defining change. [1] A change is a movement from this baseline state to a next state. The identification of significant changes from the baseline state is the central purpose of baseline identification ...
v. t. e. Software configuration management (SCM), a.k.a. software change and configuration management (SCCM), [1] is the software engineering practice of tracking and controlling changes to a software system; part of the larger cross-disciplinary field of configuration management (CM). [2] SCM includes version control and the establishment of ...
ISO 10007. ISO 10007 "Quality management — Guidelines for configuration management" is the ISO standard that gives guidance on the use of configuration management within an organization. [1][2] "It is applicable to the support of products from concept to disposal." [3] The standard was originally published in 1995, and was updated in 2003 and ...
Configuration items are represented by their properties. These properties can be common to all the configuration items (e.g. unique item code that we will generate, description of function, end of the lifecycle or business owner that is approving configuration item changes and technical owner, i.e. administrator, that is supporting it and implementing the changes).
In addition to standardizing the understanding of Configuration Management (CM), EIA-649 provides a rational basis upon which to apply good judgment in both planning for and executing CM across the enterprise. The knowledge contained in EIA-649 is intended to assist in establishing, performing, and/or evaluating CM systems. [5][6]
The purpose of Configuration Management (CM) is to establish and maintain the integrity of work products using configuration identification, configuration control, configuration status accounting, and configuration audits.
