process software configuration management (SCM)

  • If SCM plan does not exist then
  • Task U.4.1 Select an appropriate set of SCM tasks;
  • U.4.1.1 Identify project SCIs and baselines;

    U.4.1.2 Define the project database (repository) and the tools required to manage it;

    U.4.1.3 Establish how the librarian function is to be accomplished;

    U.4.1.4 Define the change control process for the project;

    U.4.1.5 Identify change control authority (CCA) responsibility;

    U.4.1.6 Establish SCM documentation requirements;

    U.4.1.7 Define auditing and reporting requirements;

  • else skip

    end if

  •  

    subprocess: change control

  • event trigger: a change is requested that affects a baselined SCI

    U.4.2.1 Change request is completed and submitted;

    U.4.2.2 Evaluate change request:

    technical impact of requested change is documented;

    cost and schedule impact are noted;

    overall project risk is estimated;

    U.4.2.3 Generate Change Report;

    U.4.2.4 Change control authority (CCA) evaluates Change Report:

    if overall impact is unacceptable and risk is high then

  • change is not made:

    change request is denied;

    requester of change is notified;

  • else {overall impact is acceptable and risk is low}

  • U.4.2.5 engineering change order (ECO) is generated;

    change requirements are specified;

    technical specifications for change are noted;

    constraints are identified;

    validation requirements are defined;

    U.4.2.6 Queue the change for processing;

  • endif

    U.4.2.7 Make the change;

    individuals are assigned to configuration objects;

    configuration objects are "checked out;"

    change is initiated:

    APM software engineering tasks are applied;

    FTR: formal technical reviews are conducted;

    DPP: all documentation is updated;

    regression testing is conducted;

    SQA: change is audited by SQA

    modified SCIs are "checked in;"

    appropriate version of software is rebuilt;

    baseline for validation testing is established;

    final validation tests are performed;

    U.4.2.8: Review the change

    FTR: final review of documentation is conducted;

    SQA: final SQA checks are made;

    U.4.2.9 Release the change;

  • endsubprocess change control

    U.4.3 Record and report all changes;

    endprocess software configuration management (SCM)
