Introduction

Kiuwan provides support for Application Life Cycle, allowing to run analysis based on application's Baselines and Deliveries.
An application Baseline is a specific version of an application that is relevant enough to be considered as a reference to track further changes on it.
This version might be a productive or a development version of the application, depending on its life cycle stage:

...

• To establish a baseline version of the application, with known state in terms of quality indicators, defects and associated action plan
• To keep track of modifications to the application baseline and relate those modifications to your Life Cycle model (Feature Requests, Branches, etc)
• To trace the progress of a new version against a defined action plan
• To compare those new versions of the application against the baseline
• To define "validation" conditions (an Audit in Kiuwan terms) and let Kiuwan to automatically check if those conditions are met by the delivery, providing a full report of validation status, reasons and what to do in case the audit fails.
• To evolve the baseline, either by creating a nee baseline or by promoting deliveries
  • In case of a complete delivery, updating the whole baseline with the delivery results
  • In case of a partial delivery, updating incrementally the baseline with the delivery results
