Answer / guest
Answer: A
The change control procedures are generally common for
applications within one organization; however, the
application-specific change control procedures are to be
defined during the design phase of SDLC and should be based
on the modules in the software. The other choices are
incorrect. It is too early to define change control
procedures during the feasibility phase, and it would also
be too late during the implementation phase and after the
implementation of software.
