ENV-002c — Instantiate Included Nodes

Go to ENV-002 — Configure Test Environment

Statement

The DIDO-TE SHALL instantiate each Node included in a Test Environment before Test Execution.

Derived From

, 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)

Rationale

Instantiating each included Node establishes the operational participants required by a Test Environment.

The instantiated Nodes perform the information-processing, communication, observation, control, or support functions required during Test Execution.

Establishing correspondence between each defined Node and its instantiated state supports controlled execution, Reproducibility, and assessment of whether a Node difference influenced a Test Result.

Applies To

Verification

Verification confirms that:

The DIDO-TE instantiates every Node included in the Test Environment.Each instantiated Node corresponds to a Node identified by the controlled Test Environment information.Each instantiated Node has the specified version, Baseline, Configuration, and Deployment Target.Each instantiated Node enters its required initial lifecycle state before Test Execution.The DIDO-TE maintains Traceability between each defined Node and its instantiated state.A missing, incorrect, or untraceable Node instance constitutes nonconformance with this requirement.Verification includes:

Inspection of the Nodes identified for the Test EnvironmentInspection of each instantiated NodeComparison of each instantiated Node with its controlled definitionInspection of the version, Baseline, Configuration, Deployment Target, and initial lifecycle state of each instantiated NodeInspection of Traceability records connecting each defined Node to its instantiated stateA negative assessment using a missing, incorrect, or untraceable Node instanceConfirmation that the negative assessment produces a nonconformance result
