Long-lived items have a lifespan that spans multiple versions, from their introduction to their obsolescence, while point-wise items are relevant only for the specific version they are introduced in.
In Ketryx, configuration items are categorized into two types based on their lifespan and version applicability: long-lived and point-wise (short-lived) item types.
-
Long-lived Item Types:
- These items have both "Introduced in version" and "Obsolete in version" fields.
- "Introduced in version" specifies the first version where the item is effective (inclusive).
- "Obsolete in version" indicates the first version where the item is no longer effective (exclusive).
- Examples include Anomalies, Configuration Items, Requirements, Risks, Software Item Specs, Hardware Item Specs, and Test Cases.
- If "Introduced in version" is not defined, it's assumed to be effective from the first version.
- If "Obsolete in version" is not defined, it's assumed to be effective in all subsequent versions.
-
Point-wise (Short-lived) Item Types:
- These items only have an "Introduced in version" field.
- This field ties them specifically to the version they are effective in.
- Examples include CAPAs, Change Requests, Complaints, Test Executions, and Tasks.
- They are relevant only to the specific version they are introduced in and do not have a predefined end of effectiveness like long-lived items.
