Discrimination of configuration, software configuration items and software configuration management items

During software configuration management , Configuration items need to be identified , Refer to the documents of other companies or just look at GJB The explanation of the terms in it is easy to be confused , This passage GB、GJB Differentiation and analysis , Final description of the configuration 、 Software configuration items 、 The concept of software configuration management items

A term is used to explain

GB/T 11457-2006 Software engineering terminology

To configure
a) Computer system 、 Components or networks according to the characteristics of their functional components 、 Number 、 The arrangement defined by the main features and interactive connections . Specifically speaking , The term configuration can refer to hardware configuration or software configuration ;
b) In configuration management , Hardware developed in the technical documentation and embodied in the product 、 Software functions and （ or ） physical characteristics .

Configuration item Hardware designed for configuration management 、 Software or a combination of both , It is treated as a single entity in the configuration management process .

Computer software configuration items A collection of software designed for configuration management , It is in the configuration management process , Treat as an entity .

Software configuration management items
Various related items of software configuration items under software configuration management . Including various management documents 、 Review records and documents 、 Software documentation 、 Source code and its executable code 、 System software, support software and various relevant data required for operation .

GJB 5235 Military software configuration management

software configuration Documents in various forms and versions produced at various stages of the software life cycle 、 Program 、 A collection of data and environments .

Software configuration items Software components viewed as a unit for configuration management purposes , It is usually an element in the software configuration .

GJB 2786A-2009 General requirements for the development of military soft waxes

Computer software configuration items
The software set that meets the final use requirements and is designated by the demander for independent configuration management . The selection of computer software configuration items is based on the trade-offs of the following factors ： software function 、 scale 、 Host or target computer 、 Developer 、 Security plan 、 Reuse plan 、 Key 、 Interface considerations 、 Need to document and control separately 、 And other factors .

   As can be seen from the above ,GB/T 11457 And GJB 2786A The concept of software configuration items is the same , and GJB 5235 Really different , How should we understand ？
   A focus on GJB 5235 Mentioned ： It is usually an element in the software configuration , This half sentence is obviously contrary to the other two standards , The author thinks that this standard wants to express “ Hierarchical management ” The concept of , For simple software projects , What it says “ Configuration item ” It's actually “ Configuration management items ”.
   Let's look at the relationship between these standards ,GJB 2786、5235 All quote GB/T 11457, So we need to With GB/T 11457 Subject to .

Conclusion

With GB/T 11457-2006 Software engineering terminology As defined in
