ENV-001h — Define Environmental Constraints

Go to ENV-001 — Define Test Environment

The DIDO-TE SHALL define each environmental Constraint applicable to a Test Environment or record that no environmental Constraint applies and provide the basis for the determination.

• [DTE5] DIDO-TE Requirements Register, source requirement identifier and obligation to be assigned
• [DTE6] Structured Information Processing Reference Architecture (SIP-RA)
• [DTE7] Federated Data Interpretation Systems Reference Architecture (FDIS-RA)

Defining the applicable environmental Constraints establishes the physical, virtual, operational, jurisdictional, or connectivity conditions governing a Test Environment.

The defined Constraints support validation of the instantiated Test Environment, reproduction of the conditions under which a Test Execution occurred, and assessment of whether an environmental difference influenced a Test Result.

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

• Test Environment
• Constraint
• Test Execution

Verification confirms that:

• Each Test Environment defines every applicable environmental Constraint.
• Each defined environmental Constraint identifies the condition or property it governs.
• The instantiated Test Environment satisfies each applicable environmental Constraint.
• A Test Environment without an applicable environmental Constraint records the determination and its basis.
• A missing, undefined, or unsatisfied applicable environmental Constraint constitutes nonconformance with this requirement.

Verification includes:

• Inspection of the controlled information for each Test Environment
• Inspection of the defined environmental Constraints
• Inspection or measurement of the conditions present in the instantiated Test Environment
• Comparison of the observed conditions with the defined environmental Constraints
• Inspection of recorded determinations that no environmental Constraint applies
• Inspection of the basis recorded for each such determination
• A negative assessment using a Test Environment that violates an applicable environmental Constraint
• Confirmation that the negative assessment produces a nonconformance result

• Add links to the architecture sections governing Test Environment conditions and environmental Constraints.

Assign the applicable delivery phase.
