The correct answer is B. Configuration identification. The process of decomposing a system into identifiable, manageable units called Configuration Items (CIs) within configuration management is known as configuration identification. This involves selecting and naming the CIs, and defining their relationships.
Question
You work as the senior project manager in SoftTech Inc. You are working on a software project using configuration management. Through configuration management you are decomposing the verification system into identifiable, understandable, manageable, traceable units that are known as Configuration Items (CIs). According to you, which of the following processes is known as the decomposition process of a verification system into Configuration Items?
Options
- AConfiguration status accounting
- BConfiguration identification
- CConfiguration auditing
- DConfiguration control

Why each option
The process of decomposing a system into identifiable, manageable units called Configuration Items (CIs) within configuration management is known as configuration identification. This involves selecting and naming the CIs, and defining their relationships.
Configuration status accounting is the recording and reporting of information concerning the status of CIs and proposed changes, not their decomposition.
Configuration identification is the process within configuration management that involves selecting, naming, and describing the various elements or components of a system, known as Configuration Items (CIs), for management and tracking purposes. It establishes the baseline for all subsequent configuration management activities.
Configuration auditing is the independent review to assess if CIs comply with requirements and if configuration management processes are effective, not the initial decomposition.
Configuration control is the process of managing changes to CIs and their baselines, not the initial act of identifying them.
