Gives guidance for configuration management tool capabilities from which systems and software development life cycle activities can be supported.

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.
