DANSK DS/ISO/IEC TR 18018 PDF

This Technical Report provides guidance for configuration management tool capabilities from which systems and software development life cycle activities can be supported. ISO/IEC 14102:2008, Information technology - Guideline for the evaluation and selection of CASE tools, details a set of evaluation criteria for CASE tools without referencing a specific activity or task which the tool supports. This lack of consideration on a specific activity or task causes users confusion and difficulty in evaluating and selecting the right tools. This Technical Report supplements ISO/IEC 14102:2008 by providing a set of minimum tool capabilities for configuration management. It can be used as the set of criteria by a potential user during an acquisition process, or by a configuration management tool supplier to help identify desirable tool capabilities.
