Configuration auditing in configuration management

There are two types of configuration audit: PCA (physics configuration audit) and FCA (function configuration audit ).

PCA is the physical audit, mainly to check whether the version is correct and consistent.

(1) Whether the configuration items are complete. (2) whether the version is complete.

FCA is a function audit. It mainly checks whether the configuration items are complete, whether the documents of various processes are complete, correct, and consistent with the requirements. It comes down to two points: complete and complete.

PCA is generally performed by non-Configuration Management Personnel (because the Audit object is the configuration management personnel), while FCA can be performed by CMO.

The PCA check has fewer items, while the FCA check is more complex. because auditors may not know what the software is, but they must ensure that the subsequent design is correct.

For example, Audit Configuration item design documents.

(1) Check the relevant review documents and check whether the standards are met.

(2) Use the requirement management tool (such as requisitpro) to check whether the requirements are covered by the corresponding design.

(3) check whether the design is true through interviews.

This is not easy. at that time, the evaluators gave a good solution, just like QA audits. the configuration administrator extracts some or all of the functional points from the requirement documents, and then interviews the designers to see if these functional points have been designed, instead of displaying it in a management tool, it is designed.

According to the evaluators, a good Configuration Manager should stick to the project.
