====== ENV-002j — Apply Version and Baseline Information ======

[[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 apply the specified version and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:b:baseline|Baseline]] information to each applicable element of 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 =====

Applying the specified version and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:b:baseline|Baseline]] information identifies the controlled state of each applicable [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_object|Test Object]], [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:n:node|Node]], [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_resource|Test Resource]], software component, dependency, data set, configuration artifact, and supporting service within a [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_environment|Test Environment]].

The applied information establishes correspondence between each specified element and the instance used during [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_execution|Test Execution]].

Recording this correspondence 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 whether a version or Baseline difference influenced a [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_result|Test Result]].

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

  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_environment|Test Environment]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:b:baseline|Baseline]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_object|Test Object]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:n:node|Node]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_resource|Test Resource]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:configuration|Configuration]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_execution|Test Execution]]

===== Verification =====

Verification confirms that:

  * The DIDO-TE identifies the specified version and Baseline information for each applicable Test Environment element.
  * The DIDO-TE applies the specified version and Baseline information to each applicable element.
  * Each instantiated or provisioned element corresponds to its specified version and Baseline.
  * The applied information uniquely identifies the controlled state of each applicable element.
  * The DIDO-TE records the applied version and Baseline information as part of the resulting Test Environment Configuration.
  * The DIDO-TE maintains Traceability among each specified element, its version and Baseline information, and its instantiated or provisioned state.
  * A missing, incorrect, superseded, inconsistent, or untraceable version or Baseline constitutes nonconformance with this requirement.

Verification includes:

  * Inspection of the version and Baseline information specified for the Test Environment
  * Inspection of the version and Baseline information applied to each applicable element
  * Comparison of each instantiated or provisioned element with its specified version and Baseline
  * Inspection of the resulting Test Environment Configuration
  * Inspection of Traceability records connecting each specified element to its instantiated or provisioned state
  * A negative assessment using a missing, incorrect, superseded, inconsistent, or untraceable version or Baseline
  * Confirmation that the negative assessment produces a nonconformance result
