 +====== ENV-004c — Control Test Inputs ======
  
 +[[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-c-requirements:03-functional-requirements:03-01-test-environment-requirements:env-004-provide-deterministic-test-environment:start|Go to ENV-004 — Provide Deterministic Test Environment]]
 +
 +===== Statement =====
 +
 +The [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:dido-te|DIDO-TE]] SHALL control each [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_input|Test Input]] in accordance with the applicable [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_definition|Test Definition]].
 +
 +===== Derived From =====
 +
 +  * [[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-c-requirements:03-functional-requirements:03-01-test-environment-requirements:env-004-provide-deterministic-test-environment:start|ENV-004 — Provide Deterministic Test Environment]]
 +  * [[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 =====
 +
 +Test Inputs stimulate or otherwise influence the behaviour of a [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_object|Test Object]], participating [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:n:node|Nodes]], and the resulting [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_result|Test Results]].
 +
 +Control of Test Inputs extends beyond their content. Input identity, version, format, source, order, timing, quantity, integrity, delivery method, and applicable preconditions also affect Test Execution.
 +
 +Uncontrolled, altered, duplicated, omitted, reordered, delayed, or additional Test Inputs introduce variation and weaken the interpretation, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reproducibility|Reproducibility]], and [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:comparability|Comparability]] of Test Results.
 +
 +Recording the Test Inputs actually supplied permits comparison with the applicable Test Definition and supports investigation of deviations.
 +
 +===== 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:t:test_input|Test Input]]
 +  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_object|Test Object]]
 +  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:n:node|Node]]
 +  * [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_resource|Test Resource]]
 +  * [[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 applicable Test Definition identifies each required Test Input.
 +  * Each required Test Input has a unique identity and controlled version.
 +  * The controlled descriptive information specifies the required content, format, source, order, timing, quantity, integrity, delivery method, and preconditions for each Test Input, where applicable.
 +  * The DIDO-TE verifies the identity, version, content, format, and integrity of each Test Input before use.
 +  * The DIDO-TE supplies each Test Input to the specified recipient.
 +  * The DIDO-TE supplies each Test Input in the specified order and under the specified timing and delivery conditions.
 +  * The DIDO-TE detects an omitted, additional, duplicated, altered, corrupted, reordered, misdirected, premature, or delayed Test Input.
 +  * The DIDO-TE records each supplied Test Input and its actual content identity, source, recipient, order, time, delivery status, and integrity status as [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]].
 +  * The DIDO-TE maintains [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|Traceability]] among each Test Input, its controlled source, Test Definition, recipient, delivery record, Test Execution, and Test Results.
 +  * An omitted, additional, duplicated, altered, corrupted, reordered, misdirected, incorrectly timed, uncontrolled, or untraceable Test Input constitutes nonconformance with this requirement.
 +
 +Verification includes:
 +
 +  * Inspection of the Test Inputs specified by the Test Definition
 +  * Inspection of Test Input identities, versions, content, formats, sources, and integrity information
 +  * Observation of Test Input preparation and delivery
 +  * Comparison of the required and supplied Test Inputs
 +  * Inspection of Test Input order, timing, quantity, recipients, and delivery conditions
 +  * Testing with an omitted, additional, duplicated, altered, corrupted, reordered, misdirected, premature, or delayed Test Input
 +  * Confirmation that the DIDO-TE detects and records each deviation
 +  * Inspection of Test Input and delivery Evidence
 +  * Inspection of Traceability records connecting each Test Input to its source, Test Definition, recipient, Test Execution, and Test Results
 +  * Confirmation that an incorrect, uncontrolled, or untraceable Test Input produces a nonconformance result

 +
 +===== Related Architecture Sections =====
 +
 +  * Add links to the architecture sections governing Test Input definition, preparation, integrity, sequencing, delivery, observation, Evidence, and Traceability.
 +
 +===== Delivery Phase =====
 +
 +Assign the applicable delivery phase.
