Configuration Status Accounting (CSA)
The recording and reporting of information needed for configuration management including the status of configuration items (CIs), proposed changes and the implementation status of approved changes. Status accounting provides the means by which the current state of the development can be judged and the history of the development life cycle can be traced.
A typical Configuration Status Report might include:
- A list of the configuration items that comprise a baseline
- The date when each version of each configuration item was baselined
- A list of the specifications that describe each configuration item
- The history of baseline changes including rationales for change
- A list of open change requests by configuration item
- Deficiencies identified by configuration audits
The status of works associated with approved change requests by CI.
