====== ENV-001j — Define Deployment Constraints ======

[[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-c-requirements:03-functional-requirements:03-01-test-environment-requirements:env-001-define-test-environment:start|Go to ENV-001 — Define Test Environment]]

===== Statement =====

The [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:dido-te|DIDO-TE]] SHALL define each deployment [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:constraint|Constraint]] applicable to a [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_environment|Test Environment]] or record that no deployment Constraint applies and provide the basis for the determination.

===== Derived From =====

  * [[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-b-references:dte-005|[DTE5] DIDO-TE Requirements Register]], source requirement identifier and obligation to be assigned
  * [[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-b-references:dte-006|[DTE6] Structured Information Processing Reference Architecture (SIP-RA)]]
  * [[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-b-references:dte-007|[DTE7] Federated Data Interpretation Systems Reference Architecture (FDIS-RA)]]

===== Rationale =====

Defining the applicable deployment [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:constraint|Constraints]] establishes the conditions governing the placement, provisioning, installation, instantiation, and operation of a [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_environment|Test Environment]] on its [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:deployment_target|Deployment Target]].

The defined Constraints support deployment planning, validation of the deployed Test Environment, reproduction of its deployment state, and assessment of whether a deployment difference influenced a [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_execution|Test Execution]] or [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_result|Test Result]].

An explicit determination that no deployment Constraint applies distinguishes an intentional condition from missing information.

===== Applies To =====

  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_environment|Test Environment]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:constraint|Constraint]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:deployment_target|Deployment Target]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:n:node|Node]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_object|Test Object]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_resource|Test Resource]]

===== Verification =====

Verification confirms that:

  * Each Test Environment defines every applicable deployment Constraint.
  * Each defined deployment Constraint identifies the element, operation, condition, or Deployment Target it governs.
  * The deployed Test Environment satisfies each applicable deployment Constraint.
  * A Test Environment without an applicable deployment Constraint records the determination and its basis.
  * A missing, undefined, or unsatisfied applicable deployment Constraint constitutes nonconformance with this requirement.

Verification includes:

  * Inspection of the controlled information for each Test Environment
  * Inspection of the defined deployment Constraints
  * Inspection of the deployed Test Environment and its Deployment Target
  * Comparison of the observed deployment state with the defined deployment Constraints
  * Inspection of recorded determinations that no deployment Constraint applies
  * Inspection of the basis recorded for each such determination
  * A negative assessment using a Test Environment that violates an applicable deployment Constraint
  * Confirmation that the negative assessment produces a nonconformance result
