What is the primary purpose of a Configuration Management Plan (CMP) in a test program?
Answer: To define how configuration items are identified, controlled, and audited throughout the program
A CMP defines the processes and procedures for identifying, controlling, and auditing configuration items to ensure integrity across the program.
During a configuration audit, what is the difference between a Functional Configuration Audit (FCA) and a Physical Configuration Audit (PCA)?
Answer: FCA verifies performance requirements are met; PCA verifies the as-built product matches design documentation
An FCA confirms the item's performance meets its functional requirements, while a PCA verifies the as-built configuration matches design documentation.
Which CM activity ensures that only authorized changes are incorporated into a system's baseline?
Answer: Configuration Change Control
Configuration Change Control is the CM function that evaluates, approves, and controls modifications to established baselines.
A test conductor discovers a component installed in the test article differs from the approved drawing. What CM process should be initiated?
Answer: Initiate a discrepancy or nonconformance report and route it through the change control process
Discrepancies from approved configuration must be formally documented via a nonconformance report and resolved through the change control process.
What does 'baseline' mean in the context of configuration management?
Answer: An approved configuration of a product or system at a specific point in time
A baseline is a formally approved configuration of a product established at a specific point in time, serving as a reference for future changes.
In configuration management, what is a Configuration Item (CI)?
Answer: An aggregation of hardware, software, or both designated for configuration management
A CI is any hardware, software, or combination thereof that is designated for configuration management and treated as a single entity.
Which baseline is established after a successful System Requirements Review (SRR) and captures the functional requirements of a system?
Answer: Functional Baseline
The Functional Baseline captures the system's functional and performance requirements and is established following the System Requirements Review.
