Russian term

«застывший» файл

Russian to English Tech/Engineering Computers: Software Testing/analysis
As in “Официальный анализ проводится на этапе готовности 30%, 60: и 90% модели, при этом используются «застывшие» копии файлов проектирования модели.”
This is in an appendix to a contract for engineering services and relates to analyzing/testing a computer model.
I would guess “frozen file” or “read only file”; i.e., a file or program that can't be modified during testing, but I think there might be a more technical term.

Discussion

Alexander Kondorsky May 26, 2008:
In this context it is not so much important how these filed are protected technically (write-protected, read-only, or simply kept in the boss' chest of drawers) as it is important that the files are deliberately kept unchanged for use in analysis.

backup file

as a native speaker and technician, I don't understand what they mean under «застывший» файл also, the one of probable options that may be suggested is that they save backup copies at every stated milestones

Fred, if they do not specify any attributes (read-only or whatever) why we should do that ?
Note from asker:
As a non-technician, I'm with you. If you're going to test at various stages of development, then at each testing stage you generate a (read-only?) test or back-up copy of the program from the master for testing purposes only. Any changes to the master are made only after the tests have been run and the specialists have agreed on recommended fixes.
