It covers the process of controlling modifications to the system's design, hardware, firmware, software, and documentation. Configuration Status Accounting: includes the process of recording and reporting configuration item descriptions (e.g., hardware, software, firmware, etc.) and all departures from the baseline during design and production.
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 baselines.
To be used efficiently, all computer software needs certain hardware components or other software resources to be present on a computer. [1] These prerequisites are known as (computer) system requirements and are often used as a guideline as opposed to an absolute rule. Most software defines two sets of system requirements: minimum and recommended.
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).
Software requirements [1] for a system are the description of what the system should do, the service or services that it provides and the constraints on its operation. The IEEE Standard Glossary of Software Engineering Terminology defines a requirement as: [2] A condition or capability needed by a user to solve a problem or achieve an objective
In systems engineering and software engineering, requirements analysis focuses on the tasks that determine the needs or conditions to meet the new or altered product or project, taking account of the possibly conflicting requirements of the various stakeholders, analyzing, documenting, validating, and managing software or system requirements.
The change request management process in systems engineering is the process of requesting, determining attainability, planning, implementing, and evaluating of changes to a system. Its main goals are to support the processing and traceability of changes to an interconnected set of factors.
The active involvement of users and clear understanding of user and task requirements is a challenge in the development of computer-based interactive systems for two reasons: The potential user groups may not be known at the start of the project, and would need to be identified according to future scenarios of how the software system will be ...
