NOD-005c — Provide Node Inputs

Go to NOD-005 — Execute a Node

Statement

The DIDO-TE SHALL provide each applicable Test Input to the intended Node 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

Node inputs include Test Inputs, control instructions, execution parameters, messages, data, events, signals, files, and other information supplied to a Node during Test Execution.

The applicable Test Definition identifies the required input, source, destination, format, type, value, sequence, timing, delivery mechanism, and applicable constraints.

Controlled input delivery ensures that the intended Node receives the intended input through the specified Node Binding under reproducible conditions. It also preserves the relationship between the supplied input, the resulting Node behavior, and the corresponding Test Result.

An incorrect, incomplete, duplicated, corrupted, mistimed, misdirected, unauthorized, or untraceable input may invalidate Test Execution and its Test Results.

Verification

Verification confirms that:

The DIDO-TE uniquely identifies each Node input.The DIDO-TE identifies the Test Definition and Test Execution governing each input.The DIDO-TE identifies the authorized source and intended destination of each input.The DIDO-TE identifies each input’s type, format, value, version, sequence, timing, and delivery mechanism.The DIDO-TE confirms that each input falls within the applicable execution authorization.The DIDO-TE confirms that each input satisfies applicable validity, integrity, security, privacy, jurisdictional, residency, and handling constraints.The DIDO-TE confirms that the intended Node occupies the required lifecycle and execution state before providing the input.The DIDO-TE provides each input through its specified Node Binding or equivalent input mechanism.The DIDO-TE provides inputs in the sequence and at the time or event specified by the Test Definition.The DIDO-TE verifies successful delivery or identifies the actual delivery outcome.The DIDO-TE records whether the intended Node accepted, rejected, ignored, or failed to receive the input.The DIDO-TE prevents an unauthorized source from supplying an input.The DIDO-TE prevents delivery of an input to an unintended Node, Test Environment, Test Execution, interface, endpoint, topic, route, or other destination.The DIDO-TE detects a missing, incorrect, incomplete, duplicated, corrupted, altered, stale, mistimed, misordered, misdirected, or unauthorized input.The DIDO-TE distinguishes a deliberately repeated input from an unintended duplicate.The DIDO-TE preserves the identity and integrity of each input or an authorized immutable reference to it.The DIDO-TE protects sensitive input content from unauthorized disclosure.The DIDO-TE identifies the effect of an input delivery exception on the Node, Test Execution, Test Results, and other affected participants.The DIDO-TE prevents continued Test Execution when an input exception invalidates the applicable execution conditions.The DIDO-TE records the input identity, source, destination, content or protected reference, type, format, value, version, sequence, timing, delivery mechanism, delivery outcome, findings, and exceptions.Repeated delivery of an equivalent input under equivalent controlled conditions produces equivalent delivery outcomes within specified tolerances.The DIDO-TE maintains Traceability among the Test Definition, Test Execution, execution authorization, Node, Node Configuration, Node Binding, input source, input identity, delivery activity, Node response, Test Results, exceptions, and resulting Evidence.An incorrect, incomplete, duplicated, corrupted, mistimed, misordered, misdirected, unauthorized, or untraceable Node input constitutes nonconformance with this requirement.Verification includes:

Inspection of input identities and governing Test DefinitionsInspection of authorized input sources and intended Node destinationsInspection of input types, formats, values, versions, sequences, timing, and delivery mechanismsObservation of input delivery through the specified Node BindingConfirmation of delivery and Node acceptance or rejectionA negative assessment involving an unauthorized input sourceA negative assessment involving an unintended destinationA negative assessment involving a corrupted or altered inputA negative assessment involving a duplicated, mistimed, or misordered inputConfirmation that sensitive inputs remain protectedConfirmation that an invalidating input exception prevents continued Test ExecutionInspection of input delivery records, Node responses, Test Results, exceptions, Evidence, and Traceability
