====== ENV-002d — Provision Required Test Resources ======

[[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-c-requirements:03-functional-requirements:03-01-test-environment-requirements:env-002-configure-test-environment:start|Go to ENV-002 — Configure Test Environment]]

===== Statement =====

The [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:dido-te|DIDO-TE]] SHALL provision each [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_resource|Test Resource]] required by a [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_environment|Test Environment]] before [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_execution|Test Execution]].

===== 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 =====

[[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:p:provisioning|Provisioning]] each required [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_resource|Test Resource]] establishes the supporting capabilities, services, data, equipment, software, credentials, or facilities required by a [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_environment|Test Environment]].

Provisioning the required Test Resources before [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_execution|Test Execution]] prevents unavailable, incorrect, or uncontrolled resources from affecting execution or the resulting [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_result|Test Results]].

Establishing correspondence between each specified Test Resource and its provisioned instance supports [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|Traceability]], [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reproducibility|Reproducibility]], and assessment of resource-related differences between Test Executions.

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

  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_environment|Test Environment]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_resource|Test Resource]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:p:provisioning|Provisioning]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_execution|Test Execution]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:configuration|Configuration]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:b:baseline|Baseline]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:deployment_target|Deployment Target]]

===== Verification =====

Verification confirms that:

  * The DIDO-TE provisions every Test Resource required by the Test Environment.
  * Each provisioned Test Resource corresponds to a Test Resource identified by the controlled Test Environment information.
  * Each provisioned Test Resource has the specified version, Baseline, Configuration, capacity, and availability.
  * Each provisioned Test Resource resides on or remains accessible from the applicable Deployment Target.
  * Each provisioned Test Resource enters its required initial state before Test Execution.
  * The DIDO-TE maintains Traceability between each specified Test Resource and its provisioned instance.
  * A missing, incorrect, unavailable, or untraceable Test Resource constitutes nonconformance with this requirement.

Verification includes:

  * Inspection of the Test Resources specified for the Test Environment
  * Inspection of each provisioned Test Resource
  * Comparison of each provisioned Test Resource with its controlled definition
  * Inspection of the version, Baseline, Configuration, capacity, availability, and initial state of each provisioned Test Resource
  * Inspection of Traceability records connecting each specified Test Resource to its provisioned instance
  * A negative assessment using a missing, incorrect, unavailable, or untraceable Test Resource
  * Confirmation that the negative assessment produces a nonconformance result
