Question

The Software Configuration Management (SCM) process defines the need to trace changes, and the ability to verify that the final delivered software has all of the planned enhancements that are supposed to be included in the release. What are the procedures that must be defined for each software project to ensure that a sound SCM process is implemented? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.

Explanation

The four standard Software Configuration Management (SCM) procedures are: Configuration Identification (E) - naming and labeling configuration items; Configuration Change Control (B) - governing how changes are proposed, reviewed, and approved; Configuration Status Accounting (A) - recording and reporting the status of configuration items over time; and Configuration Audits (D) - verifying that the software matches its documented configuration. 'Configuration Deployment' (C) and 'Configuration Implementation' (F) are not recognized as formal SCM procedure categories in standard frameworks such as IEEE 828.
