Computer Science 307 - Assignment 1: Configuration Management
Configuration Management
Configuration Management is the practice of processing system changes systematically with the primary intent of updating system and maintaining integrity (Configuration Management | Definition, Plan & Process, 2017). In laymen’s terms, this is a practice of setting up your system in and maintaining the system with the idea of security. When conducting CM management, you would use CM tools to accomplish in order to manage revisions, track revision
status, and document and verify each step throughout the process. When CM tools are used correctly it will result in: Improved performance, system compliance with established specifications and guidelines, lowered probability of errors, and enhanced online availability. (Configuration Management | Definition, Plan & Process, 2017).
Five Components in Configuration Management
The first component in configuration management is scope; The scope essentially establishes boundaries and guidelines applicable to the configuration change (Configuration Management | Definition, Plan & Process, 2017). The word scope has a lot of interchangeable definition depending on the context, but in short, the scope is lays down the roadmap of the product, in configuration management, we are looking at the rules for the configuration change.
Second component is references, it is here to list of all of the publications, specifications, and requirements used to implementing a change (Configuration Management | Definition, Plan & Process, 2017). They are more being used like a tutorial on how to implement the change, these references are usually backed by a lot of evidence.
Third component is the Configuration Item (CI), these are essentially are the component or components that needed to be changed in the system, this can be any component in a system (Configuration Management | Definition, Plan & Process, 2017). When the change occurs, they are often issued a unique CI number for the component.
Fourth component are baselines, they are essentially benchmarks that need to be surpassed in order a system to qualify, this is often used to compared between new and old hardware in order to update the baseline, the faster the new hardware, the higher of the new baseline. These are tested after the new configuration (Configuration Management | Definition, Plan & Process, 2017).
The firth and last component are verification, this will determine the accuracy and completeness of the configuration data while exercising zero tolerance to protect the integrity of the CM database (Configuration Management | Definition, Plan & Process, 2017). This is the testing phase of CMP, this will look for any errors in the testing phase, any error that does arise will fail the verification.
Five Setbacks without configuration management
1.
A misconfigured system has a fault in the system, it can lead to a domino effect to other problems in the latest revision, rendering a test a complete failure, they will not be able to
keep up with rapid changes with hardware and software, nor with the speed of the business (Configuration Management | Definition, Plan & Process, 2017).
2.
Without Configuration management, it will be difficult for the company to keep up with integrity of software, this is important since, this records the entire life cycle of the

The XY team, led by Lukman, is currently working on a cloud-based human resource management system (HRMS) project. The project is supposed to release a new baseline by June 2021. Since the project is approaching its deadline, the project manager has assigned XY team to perform requirements validation in two weeks’ time. The new baseline is expected to release a new version of requirements specification, a major update from the previous version; SRS V2.4.

Software/System Requirements
AIM: To create a SOFTWARE/SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS SPECIFICATIONS An SRS is basically an organization's understanding (in writing) of a customer or potential client's system requirements and dependencies at a particular point in time (usually) prior to any actual design or development work. It's a two-way insurance policy that assures that both the client and the organization understand the other's requirements from that perspective at a given point in time. The SRS document itself states in precise and explicit language those functions and capabilities a software system (i.e., a software application, an eCommerce Web site, and so on) must provide, as well as states any required constraints by which the system must abide. The SRS also functions as a blueprint for completing a project with as little cost growth as possible. The SRS is often referred to as the "parent" document because all subsequent project management documents, such as design specifications,…

Sports World is an Events Management Company that organizes the running of major games, such as the Olympic Games.
Before being used to host a sporting event, venues are assessed by an Administrator who checks that they are fit for purpose. If the venue can hold more than 10,000 people, the Administrator conducts additional health and safety checks to ensure that the venue is safe.
A year before the games begin, a Team of Staff is appointed to run the day-to-day operations, including booking successfully assessed/safety-checked venues. Six months before the games begin, the Team of Staff produce a Program that lists the date, time and location of each sporting event. At this point, Athletes can register for an event by giving their name, address, date of bir sporting th and best time for their event. Some overseas athletes need to apply for a visa and the system needs to record whether they were successful.

The following requirements description for the new ProductionSchedulingSystem was provided to the IT department:
The purpose of the new fully automated system is to respond to a customer production order (submitted by the SalesDepartment) by generating a daily production schedule (sent to the Shop Floor Supervisor) and raw material requisitions (sent to the Materials Management Department) for all production orders scheduled for the next day. The list of raw materials and quantities needed for a requisition is contained in a separate bill of materials system. Finally, the system generates job tickets (sent to the Shop Floor Supervisor) for the work to be completed at each workstation during the next day.
A fully automated production scheduling system must perform three main functions: 'route an order', 'load a request', and 'generate a production schedule'. To route an order, the system must know which workstations are needed, in what sequence the work must be done, and how much time…
