====== C.1 Mission Objectives ======

[[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-c-requirements:start|Go to Annex C: Requirements]]

The [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:m:mission_objective|Mission Objectives]] identify the high-level outcomes that guide the [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:dido-te|Distributed Immutable Data Object Test Environment (DIDO-TE)]] requirements, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:concept_of_operations|Concept of Operations]], architecture, realization, operation, and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:o:operational_lifecycle|Operational Lifecycle]].

Mission Objectives describe intended outcomes rather than prescribing a particular product, implementation, or realization technology.

The DIDO-TE Mission Objectives address:

  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:g:governed|Governed]] [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_environment|Test Environments]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reproducibility|Reproducible]] Test Environments
  * Reproducible [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_execution|Test Execution]]
  * Automated Test Execution
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:b:baseline|Baseline]] establishment
  * Baseline comparison
  * Comparative evaluation of candidate solutions
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:v:validation|Validation]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:connected_environment|Connected Environment]] operation
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:disconnected_environment|Disconnected Environment]] operation
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:air-gapped_environment|Air-Gapped Environment]] operation
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|Traceable]] [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_result|Test Results]]
  * Governed [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]]
  * Reusable [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_definition|Test Definitions]]
  * Reusable [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:executable_artifact|Executable Artifacts]]
  * Reusable [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:resource|Test Resources]]
  * Integration with external systems

Operational, functional, security, logging and auditing, reliability, performance, maintainability, data-management, interoperability, and conformance [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:requirement|Requirements]] define the independently verifiable obligations that support these outcomes.

The Mission Objectives derive from the applicable source documents identified in Annex B. A Mission Objective may derive directly from a source obligation or result from decomposition of a broader source objective.

===== Notes for Editors =====

This page is a non-leaf requirement-category page and does not establish a separate conformance obligation.

Mission Objectives use the ''MO'' requirement prefix.

Each Mission Objective retains its assigned identifier throughout its lifecycle. Do not reuse an identifier assigned to a retired, withdrawn, deprecated, or superseded Mission Objective.

A Mission Objective may be represented by an individual leaf requirement or by a non-leaf requirement group when decomposition into independently verifiable subordinate objectives is required.

Apply the requirement identification, decomposition, source and derivation, normative-language, quality, status, and page-structure rules defined by Annex C.

Preserve Traceability from each Mission Objective to its source material and to the supporting operational, functional, quality, security, and conformance requirements.
