 +====== ENV-003i — Remove or Isolate Residual State ======
  
 +[[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-c-requirements:03-functional-requirements:03-01-test-environment-requirements:env-003-establish-controlled-starting-state:start|Go to ENV-003 — Establish Controlled Starting State]]
 +
 +===== Statement =====
 +
 +Before each [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_execution|Test Execution]], the [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:dido-te|DIDO-TE]] SHALL remove or isolate each residual state element not included in the required controlled starting state.
 +
 +===== Derived From =====
 +
 +  * [[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-c-requirements:03-functional-requirements:03-01-test-environment-requirements:env-003-establish-controlled-starting-state:start|ENV-003 — Establish Controlled Starting State]]
 +  * [[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-b-references:dte-005|[DTE5] DIDO-TE Requirements Register]], source requirement identifier and obligation to be assigned
 +  * [[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-b-references:dte-006|[DTE6] Structured Information Processing Reference Architecture (SIP-RA)]]
 +  * [[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-b-references:dte-007|[DTE7] Federated Data Interpretation Systems Reference Architecture (FDIS-RA)]]
 +
 +===== Rationale =====
 +
 +Residual state includes data, processes, messages, files, caches, temporary resources, communication relationships, credentials, locks, subscriptions, transactions, and other state remaining from a prior activity or [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_execution|Test Execution]].
 +
 +Residual state may alter the behaviour of a [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:n:node|Node]], [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_object|Test Object]], or supporting [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_resource|Test Resource]].
 +
 +Removing or isolating residual state prevents a prior Test Execution or unrelated activity from influencing a later [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_result|Test Result]]. This separation supports [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reproducibility|Reproducibility]] and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:comparability|Comparability]].
 +
 +===== Applies To =====
 +
 +  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_environment|Test Environment]]
 +  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_definition|Test Definition]]
 +  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_execution|Test Execution]]
 +  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:n:node|Node]]
 +  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_object|Test Object]]
 +  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_resource|Test Resource]]
 +  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_input|Test Input]]
 +  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:configuration|Configuration]]
 +  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:constraint|Constraint]]
 +  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]]
 +
 +===== Verification =====
 +
 +Verification confirms that:
 +
 +  * The DIDO-TE identifies residual state before Test Execution.
 +  * The DIDO-TE determines whether each identified residual state element belongs to the required controlled starting state.
 +  * The DIDO-TE removes or isolates each residual state element not included in the required controlled starting state.
 +  * Isolation prevents the residual state element from influencing the applicable Test Execution.
 +  * Removal or isolation addresses residual data, processes, messages, files, caches, resources, communication relationships, credentials, locks, subscriptions, and transactions, where applicable.
 +  * The resulting Test Environment contains only state permitted by the controlled descriptive information.
 +  * The DIDO-TE records each detected residual state element and the action taken.
 +  * The DIDO-TE maintains [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|Traceability]] among each residual state element, its originating activity when known, the removal or isolation action, and the applicable Test Execution.
 +  * Unidentified, unremoved, ineffectively isolated, prohibited, or untraceable residual state constitutes nonconformance with this requirement.
 +
 +Verification includes:
 +
 +  * Inspection of the Test Environment following a prior Test Execution
 +  * Inspection for residual data, processes, messages, files, caches, resources, communication relationships, credentials, locks, subscriptions, and transactions
 +  * Observation of residual-state removal or isolation
 +  * Confirmation that isolated residual state cannot influence the applicable Test Execution
 +  * Comparison of the resulting Test Environment state with the required controlled starting state
 +  * Inspection of residual-state detection and disposition records
 +  * Inspection of Traceability records connecting each residual state element to its origin, disposition, and applicable Test Execution
 +  * Repetition of a Test Execution following a prior Test Execution
 +  * A negative assessment containing prohibited or ineffectively isolated residual state
 +  * Confirmation that the negative assessment produces a nonconformance result
