Trend Technology Software configuration management (SCM) Mock Test

Software configuration management (SCM) is a software engineering discipline consisting of standard processes and techniques often used by organizations to manage the changes introduced to its software products. SCM helps in identifying individual elements and configurations, tracking changes, and version selection, control, and baselining.

SCM is also known as software control management. SCM aims to control changes introduced to large complex software systems through reliable version selection and version control.

The goals of SCM are generally:

• Configuration identification - Identifying configurations, configuration items and baselines.
• Configuration control - Implementing a controlled change process. This is usually achieved by setting up a change control board whose primary function is to approve or reject all change requests that are sent against any baseline.
• Configuration status accounting - Recording and reporting all the necessary information on the status of the development process.
• Configuration auditing - Ensuring that configurations contain all their intended parts and are sound with respect to their specifying documents, including requirements, architectural specifications and user manuals.
• Build management - Managing the process and tools used for builds.
• Process management - Ensuring adherence to the organization's development process.
• Environment management - Managing the software and hardware that host the system.
• Teamwork - Facilitate team interactions related to the process.

Defect tracking - Making sure every defect has traceability back to the source.
