MO-007a — Connected Environment Operation

Go to MO-007 — Connected, Disconnected, and Air-Gapped Operation

Statement

DIDO-TE SHALL perform testing operations in a Connected Environment using permitted external network connections and services.

Derived From

MO-007a derives from MO-007 — Connected, Disconnected, and Air-Gapped Operation.

MO-007a specifies the Connected Environment portion of MO-007.

Rationale

A Connected Environment provides access to permitted external networks and services during testing operations.

Connected Environment operation permits DIDO-TE to obtain approved testing artifacts, dependencies, configurations, test data, policies, and updates through authorized network connections. It also permits DIDO-TE to interact with approved external services required by a test.

External connectivity introduces dependencies and risks that affect test execution and interpretation. DIDO-TE records the external network connections and services used during each test execution so that the resulting Evidence preserves Traceability to the relevant operating conditions.

Connected Environment operation does not imply unrestricted network access. Applicable security, authorization, configuration, monitoring, and evidence controls govern each permitted connection and external service.

Applies To

MO-007a applies to:

Verification

Verification confirms that:

DIDO-TE performs testing operations in a Connected EnvironmentDIDO-TE uses only permitted external network connections and services during test executionDIDO-TE applies the applicable security and authorization controls to each external network connection and serviceDIDO-TE identifies the external network connections and services required by the Test DefinitionDIDO-TE records the external network connections and services used during each test executionDIDO-TE records external-service failures, interruptions, or changes that affect test execution or interpretation of the Test ResultsThe Evidence preserves Traceability to the Connected Environment and its relevant connectivity conditions
