C.1 Mission Objectives

Go to DIDO-TE Requirements

The Mission Objectives identify the high-level outcomes that guide the Distributed Immutable Data Object Test Environment (DIDO-TE) requirements, Concept of Operations, architecture, implementation, operation, and Operational Lifecycle.

The DIDO-TE Mission Objectives address:

Test EnvironmentsReproducible Test ExecutionAutomated Test ExecutionBaseline establishmentBaseline comparisonComparative evaluation of candidate solutionsValidationConnected Environment operationDisconnected Environment operationAir-Gapped Environment operationTraceable Test ResultsGoverned EvidenceReusable Test DefinitionsReusable Executable ArtifactsReusable Test ResourcesIntegration with external systemsMission Objectives describe the outcomes DIDO-TE seeks to achieve.

Operational, functional, security, logging and auditing, reliability, performance, maintainability, data-management, and interoperability requirements define the independently verifiable obligations that support those outcomes.

Notes for Editors

This page is a non-leaf requirements category page and does not contain normative requirement Statements.

Assign each Mission Objective a stable identifier using the form MO-nnn.

Retain an assigned Mission Objective identifier throughout the requirement lifecycle.

Do not reuse an identifier assigned to a retired, withdrawn, deprecated, or superseded Mission Objective.

Preserve the wording and identifier of each Original Requirement in its source information.

A canonical DIDO-TE Mission Objective can correct:

TerminologyNormative languageAmbiguityAtomicityTraceabilityImplementation leakageOther candidate issues detected through OMG Specification Discipline and Authoring (SDA)Defects determined through the Common Specification Weakness Enumeration (CWE)Preserve the approved intent of the Original Requirement when making these corrections.

When an Original Requirement contains multiple independently interpretable or independently verifiable obligations:

Preserve the Original Requirement on a non-leaf parent pageAssign the parent requirement an identifier such as MO-002Assign each derived leaf requirement a lowercase suffix such as MO-002a and MO-002bInclude a Derived From section on each derived requirement pageIdentify every requirement derived from the same parent requirementPreserve Traceability to the Original RequirementA requirement that does not result from decomposition uses a Source section rather than a Derived From section.

Apply SDA as the detection layer for candidate:

Linguistic issuesStructural issuesTerminology issuesDefinition issuesModality issuesTemporal issuesTraceability issuesImplementation-leakage issuesApply CWE as the evaluation layer for:

Confirming defectsIdentifying the governing ruleAssigning the defect classificationAssigning the defect severitySelecting the applicable defect patternsProducing traceable defect recordsEach Mission Objective:

Identifies an explicit responsible ActorExpresses one independently interpretable outcomeUses defined terminology consistentlyUses explicit normative languageAvoids vague, weak, open-ended, and logically ambiguous expressionsAvoids unnecessary implementation-specific mechanismsSupports objective verificationPreserves Traceability to its source materialPreserves Traceability to supporting operational, functional, quality, security, and conformance requirementsUse the Wiki Backlinks function for incoming Traceability rather than maintaining a manual list.

To reference a requirement Statement from another Wiki page, insert:

{{section><namespace>#Statement&noheader&nofooter&noeditbtn}}

Replace <namespace> with the namespace of the requirement page to reference.

Use the section name Statement exactly as it appears on the requirement page.

Leaf requirement pages omit a trailing :start from their namespaces.

Non-leaf requirement pages retain a trailing :start in their namespaces.

Do not rename a requirement page after an external citation unless a redirect or move plan is in place.
