Configuration identification is known as the decomposition process of a verification system into

Configuration Items.

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. These attributes are recorded in

configuration documentation and

baselined. Baselining an attribute forces formal configuration change control processes to be

effected in the event that these attributes are

changed.

Answer D is incorrect. Configuration control is a procedure of the Configuration management.

Configuration control is a set of

processes and approval stages required to change a configuration item's attributes and to re-baseline

them. It supports the change of the

functional and physical attributes of software at various points in time, and performs systematic

control of changes to the identified attributes.

Configuration control is a means of ensuring that system changes are approved before being

implemented. Only the proposed and approved

changes are implemented, and the implementation is complete and accurate.

Answer A is incorrect. The configuration status accounting procedure is the ability to record and

report on the configuration baselines

associated with each configuration item at any moment of time. It supports the functional and

physical attributes of software at various points

in time, and performs systematic control of accounting to the identified attributes for the purpose of

maintaining software integrity and

traceability throughout the software development life cycle.

Answer C is incorrect. Configuration auditing is the quality assurance element of configuration

management. It is occupied in the

process of periodic checks to establish the consistency and completeness of accounting information

and to validate that all configuration

management policies are being followed.

Configuration audits are broken into functional and physical configuration audits. They occur either

at delivery or at the moment of effecting

the change. A functional configuration audit ensures that functional and performance attributes of a

configuration item are achieved, while a

physical configuration audit ensures that a configuration item is installed in accordance with the

requirements of its detailed design

documentation.
