Baselining :Process by which the quality and cost effectiveness of a service is assessed, usually in advance of a change to the service.  Baselining usually includes comparison of the service before and after the Change or analysis of trend information.  The term Benchmarking is normally used if the comparison is made against other enterprises.

For example :If the company has different projects.For each project there will be seperate test plans.This test plans should be accepted by peers in the organization after modifications.That modified test plans are the baseline for the testers to use in different projects.Any further modifications are done in the test plan.Present modified becomes the baseline.Because this test plan becomes the basis for running the testing project.

I think baselining is the process of freezing the requirements at a point of time and considering them as the final document and developing the appln.

This suits to writing Test cases also.

Baselining is done to ensure the requirements / SRS /BRS... is standardized/changes are freezed for some time and the appln design, coding and Test case writing are done with the baselined document.

Any changes to the document is then done later and all the team members of the team are informed later regarding the change in the functionality of the appln and the new changes are baselined.

According to my knowledge this is baselining.Correct me if i am wrong
