Configuration auditing is a component of configuration management, which involves periodic checks to establish the consistency and

completeness of accounting information and to confirm that all configuration management policies are being followed. Configuration audits are

broken into functional and physical configuration audits. They occur either at delivery or at the moment of effecting the change. A functional

configuration audit ensures that functional and performance attributes of a configuration item are achieved, while a physical configuration

audit ensures that a configuration item is installed in accordance with the requirements of its detailed design documentation.

Answer D is incorrect. The configuration status accounting procedure is the ability to record and report on the configuration baselines

associated with each configuration item at any moment of time. It supports the functional and physical attributes of software at various points

in time, and performs systematic control of accounting to the identified attributes for the purpose of maintaining software integrity and

traceability throughout the software development life cycle.

Answer C is incorrect. Configuration control is a procedure of the Configuration management. Configuration control is a set of

processes and approval stages required to change a configuration item's attributes and to re-baseline them. It supports the change of the

functional and physical attributes of software at various points in time, and performs systematic control of changes to the identified attributes.

Answer A is incorrect. Configuration identification is the process of identifying the attributes that define every aspect of a configuration

item. A configuration item is a product (hardware and/or software) that has an end-user purpose. These attributes are recorded in

configuration documentation and baselined. Baselining an attribute forces formal configuration change control processes to be effected in the

event that these attributes are changed.
