[IEEE 610] configuration control: An element of configuration management, consisting of the evaluation, co-ordination, approval or disapproval, and implementation of changes to configuration items after formal establishment of their configuration identification. [IEEE 610] configuration control board (CCB): A group of people responsible for evaluating and approving or disapproving proposed changes to configuration items, and for ensuring implementation of approved changes. [IEEE 610] configuration identification: An element of configuration management, consisting of selecting the configuration items for a system and recording their functional and physical characteristics in technical documentation. [IEEE 610] configuration item: An aggregation of hardware, software or both, that is designated for configuration management and treated as a single entity in the configuration management process. [IEEE 610] configuration management: A discipline applying technical and administrative direction and surveillance to: identify and document the functional and physical characteristics of a configuration item, control changes to those characteristics, record and report change processing and implementation status, and verify compliance with specified requirements. [IEEE 610] configuration management tool: A tool that provides support for the identification and control of configuration items, their status over changes and versions, and the release of baselines consisting of configuration items. configuration testing: See portability testing. confirmation testing: See re-testing. conformance testing: See compliance testing. consistency: The degree of uniformity, standardization, and freedom from contradiction among the documents or parts of a component or system. [IEEE 610] control flow: A sequence of events (paths) in the execution through a component or system. control flow analysis: A form of static analysis based on a representation of sequences of events (paths) in the execution through a component or system. control flow graph: An abstract representation of all possible sequences of events (paths) in the execution through a component or system. control flow path: See path. continuous representation: A capability maturity model structure wherein capability levels provide a recommended order for approaching process improvement within specified process areas.
