CHAPTER 9 SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT 239

The conﬁguration audit is an SQA activity that helps to ensure that quality is main-
tained as changes are made. Status reporting provides information about each change
to those with a need to know.

PROBLEMS AND POINTS TO PONDER
9.1. Why is the First Law of System Engineering true? How does it affect our per-
ception of software engineering paradigms.
9.2. Discuss the reasons for baselines in your own words.
9.3. Assume that you're the manager of a small project. What baselines would you
deﬁne for the project and how would you control them?
