===== Discussion =====

A Conformance Requirement is a [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:requirement|Requirement]] whose satisfaction contributes to determining [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance|Conformance]].

A Conformance Requirement forms part of an applicable [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_model|Conformance Model]] and may be included within one or more [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_profile|Conformance Profiles]].

A Conformance Requirement is evaluated using one or more [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_criterion|Conformance Criteria]] at identified Conformance Points.

===== Definition =====

//requirement whose satisfaction contributes to determining conformance//

===== Source =====

  * [[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-b-references:dte-006|[DTE6]]], Section 6.4.6, //Implementation Conformance Model//

===== Note =====

Not every Requirement in a specification necessarily constitutes a Conformance Requirement.

A specification identifies which Requirements participate in Conformance Assessment.

===== Example =====

A DIDO-TE Requirement stating that a test implementation shall preserve required Evidence is a Conformance Requirement because its satisfaction contributes to determining Conformance.
