  2. A few slides about this topic • It’s a system-wide accountability • Thus, a Systems Engineer thing to do • Fits in with system testing, acceptance testing, etc. • Also fits with white-box testing of interfaces, etc. • An architectural activity • Did we pick the right one? • Do the interfaces work? • The development config also is an issue! • So is documentation…

  3. Baselines • First one – approved requirements • Thereafter – configuration control = control of every piece of info or product that goes into the system. • Also includes managing expectations. • And the project setup – like communications. • Endless list of “items”

  4. Issues – p 492 • Configuration identification knowledge for most SEs typically comes from informal exposure via verbal discussions in meetings, on-the-job-training (OJT), and observation over many years. • Most engineers have little or no training in the principles of configuration management; most are selftaught through observation and knowledge of general CM standards. • By these means they feel able to proclaim themselves to be configuration experts.
