It sounds, from that, as if it means what they call in the IT world 'set a baselevel' - it's a starting point for one phase of a project. A project will have a number of baselevels, and no advance in the project can be confirmed without running a suite of regression tests (which confirm that the new function does not accidentally compromise a function that was part of the previous baselevel).

I agree with Tdol though - it's not a phrase that I am familiar with.
