ENV-002g — Enforce Environmental Constraints

Go to ENV-002 — Configure Test Environment

Statement

The DIDO-TE SHALL enforce each environmental Constraint applicable to a Test Environment before and during 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

Environmental Constraints define the physical, virtual, operational, temporal, and resource conditions governing a Test Environment.

Enforcing these Constraints establishes the controlled conditions under which Test Execution occurs. These conditions include applicable limits on capacity, availability, location, isolation, connectivity, timing, temperature, power, processing, memory, storage, and network characteristics.

Maintaining the required environmental conditions supports Reproducibility and assessment of whether an environmental deviation influenced a Test Result.

Applies To

Verification

Verification confirms that:

The DIDO-TE identifies every environmental Constraint applicable to the Test Environment.The DIDO-TE enforces each applicable environmental Constraint before and during Test Execution.The DIDO-TE observes the environmental conditions governed by each Constraint.The observed environmental conditions remain within their specified limits.The DIDO-TE records environmental conditions and deviations as Evidence.The DIDO-TE maintains Traceability among each environmental Constraint, the governed environmental condition, and the applicable Test Execution.The DIDO-TE prevents Test Execution when a required environmental Constraint remains unsatisfied before execution.The DIDO-TE identifies a violation occurring during Test Execution and records its relationship to the affected Test Execution and Test Results.A missing, unenforced, violated, or untraceable environmental Constraint constitutes nonconformance with this requirement.Verification includes:

Inspection of the environmental Constraints applicable to the Test EnvironmentInspection of the mechanisms enforcing each environmental ConstraintInspection of environmental observations and EvidenceComparison of observed environmental conditions with their specified limitsInspection of Traceability recordsA negative assessment using an unsatisfied environmental Constraint before Test ExecutionConfirmation that the DIDO-TE prevents Test Execution when the Constraint remains unsatisfiedA negative assessment introducing an environmental Constraint violation during Test ExecutionConfirmation that the DIDO-TE identifies and records the violation and its relationship to the affected Test Execution and Test Results
