Explanation

Configuration management is a process that establishes and maintains consistency among work products throughout their life cycle. Configuration management affects testing in various ways, Proper configuration management ensures that testers can uniquely identify the tested item, which can help traceability, reproducibility and accountability. Proper configuration management ensures that testers have access to consistent versions of software components and testware, which can help reliability, compatibility and efficiency. Proper configuration management ensures that testers can track changes and defects in software components and testware, which can help verification, validation and reporting. Proper configuration management ensures that testers can control the configuration of the test environment, which can help stability, security and performance. Configuration management is not a prerequisite for test planning, as test planning can proceed without configuration management, although it may be less effective or accurate. Configuration management is not important for developers only, but for testers as well, as it affects the quality and consistency of the testing process and products. Configuration management has a significant influence on the test project, as it affects various aspects of testing, such as traceability, reproducibility, reliability, compatibility, efficiency, verification, validation, reporting, stability, security and performance.
