ENV-003a — Apply Required Baseline

Go to ENV-003 — Establish Controlled Starting State

Before each Test Execution, the DIDO-TE SHALL apply the required Baseline to the applicable Test Environment.

• ENV-003 — Establish Controlled Starting State
• [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)

Applying the required Baseline establishes the controlled collection and state of the artifacts, components, dependencies, data, services, and supporting resources required for a Test Execution.

The applied Baseline provides a defined reference against which the instantiated Test Environment and resulting Test Results are assessed.

Applying the same required Baseline across repeated Test Executions supports Reproducibility, Comparability, and Traceability.

• Test Environment
• Test Definition
• Test Execution
• Baseline
• Test Object
• Node
• Test Resource

Verification confirms that:

• The controlled descriptive information identifies the required Baseline for the Test Environment.
• The DIDO-TE applies the required Baseline before each Test Execution.
• The applied Baseline identifies each applicable artifact, component, dependency, data set, service, and Test Resource.
• Each element of the instantiated Test Environment corresponds to the required Baseline.
• The DIDO-TE records the identity and version of the applied Baseline.
• The DIDO-TE maintains Traceability among the required Baseline, its constituent elements, the Test Environment, and the applicable Test Execution.
• A missing, incorrect, superseded, incomplete, or untraceable Baseline constitutes nonconformance with this requirement.

Verification includes:

• Inspection of the controlled descriptive information identifying the required Baseline
• Inspection of the applied Baseline and its constituent elements
• Comparison of the instantiated Test Environment with the required Baseline
• Inspection of the Baseline identity and version records
• Inspection of Traceability records connecting the Baseline, Test Environment, and Test Execution
• A negative assessment using a missing, incorrect, superseded, incomplete, or untraceable Baseline
• Confirmation that the negative assessment produces a nonconformance result

• Add links to the architecture sections governing Baseline identification, Baseline application, Test Environment state control, and Test Execution admission.

Assign the applicable delivery phase.
