====== ENV-003e — Provision Required Test Resources ======

[[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-c-requirements:03-functional-requirements:03-01-test-environment-requirements:env-003-establish-controlled-starting-state:start|Go to ENV-003 — Establish Controlled Starting State]]

===== Statement =====

Before each [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_execution|Test Execution]], 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]] specified by the controlled descriptive information governing the applicable [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_environment|Test Environment]].

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

  * [[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-c-requirements:03-functional-requirements:03-01-test-environment-requirements:env-003-establish-controlled-starting-state:start|ENV-003 — Establish Controlled Starting State]]
  * [[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 =====

Provisioning the required [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_resource|Test Resources]] supplies the infrastructure, services, software, data, devices, credentials, storage, network capacity, and supporting capabilities required by a [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_execution|Test Execution]].

Each provisioned Test Resource must correspond to the type, quantity, capacity, version, location, and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:configuration|Configuration]] specified by the controlled descriptive information.

Controlled provisioning prevents missing, unsuitable, incorrectly configured, or unapproved resources from affecting Test Execution or the interpretation of the resulting [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_result|Test Results]].

===== 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_definition|Test Definition]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_execution|Test Execution]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_resource|Test Resource]]
  * [[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:b:baseline|Baseline]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:configuration|Configuration]]
  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:deployment_target|Deployment Target]]

===== Verification =====

Verification confirms that:

  * The controlled descriptive information identifies each Test Resource required for the Test Execution.
  * The controlled descriptive information specifies the required type, quantity, capacity, version, location, Configuration, and availability of each Test Resource.
  * The DIDO-TE provisions each required Test Resource before Test Execution.
  * Each provisioned Test Resource corresponds to its specified characteristics.
  * Each provisioned Test Resource is available to the applicable Node, Test Object, or Test Procedure.
  * The provisioned Test Resources exclude unapproved, obsolete, conflicting, and prohibited resources.
  * The DIDO-TE records the identity, version, Configuration, location, provisioning status, and availability of each Test Resource.
  * The DIDO-TE maintains [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|Traceability]] among each required Test Resource, its specification, its consumer, the Test Environment, and the applicable Test Execution.
  * A missing, unavailable, unsuitable, incorrectly configured, unapproved, obsolete, or untraceable Test Resource constitutes nonconformance with this requirement.

Verification includes:

  * Inspection of the controlled descriptive information identifying each required Test Resource
  * Inspection of the specified characteristics of each Test Resource
  * Observation of Test Resource provisioning
  * Comparison of each provisioned Test Resource with its specified type, quantity, capacity, version, location, and Configuration
  * Confirmation of Test Resource availability to the applicable Node, Test Object, or Test Procedure
  * Inspection for unapproved, obsolete, conflicting, and prohibited Test Resources
  * Inspection of Test Resource identity, version, Configuration, location, provisioning-status, and availability records
  * Inspection of Traceability records connecting each Test Resource to its specification, consumer, Test Environment, and Test Execution
  * A negative assessment using a missing, unavailable, unsuitable, incorrectly configured, unapproved, obsolete, or untraceable Test Resource
  * Confirmation that the negative assessment produces a nonconformance result
