ENV-003a — Apply Required Baseline

Go to ENV-003 — Establish Controlled Starting State

Statement

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

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

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.

Applies To

Verification

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Baseline, its constituent elements, the Test Environment, and the applicable Test Execution.A missing, incorrect, superseded, incomplete, or untraceable Baseline constitutes nonconformance with this requirement.Verification includes: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 BaselineInspection of the applied Baseline and its constituent elementsComparison of the instantiated Test Environment with the required BaselineInspection of the Baseline identity and version recordsInspection of Traceability records connecting the Baseline, Test Environment, and Test ExecutionA negative assessment using a missing, incorrect, superseded, incomplete, or untraceable BaselineConfirmation that the negative assessment produces a nonconformance result
