C.1 Mission Objectives

Go to Annex C: Requirements

The Mission Objectives identify the high-level outcomes that guide the Distributed Immutable Data Object Test Environment (DIDO-TE) requirements, Concept of Operations, architecture, realization, operation, and Operational Lifecycle.

Mission Objectives describe intended outcomes rather than prescribing a particular product, implementation, or realization technology.

The DIDO-TE Mission Objectives address:

• Governed Test Environments
• Reproducible Test Environments
• Reproducible Test Execution
• Automated Test Execution
• Baseline establishment
• Baseline comparison
• Comparative evaluation of candidate solutions
• Validation
• Connected Environment operation
• Disconnected Environment operation
• Air-Gapped Environment operation
• Traceable Test Results
• Governed Evidence
• Reusable Test Definitions
• Reusable Executable Artifacts
• Reusable Test Resources
• Integration with external systems

Operational, functional, security, logging and auditing, reliability, performance, maintainability, data-management, interoperability, and conformance Requirements define the independently verifiable obligations that support these outcomes.

The Mission Objectives derive from the applicable source documents identified in Annex B. A Mission Objective may derive directly from a source obligation or result from decomposition of a broader source objective.

This page is a non-leaf requirement-category page and does not establish a separate conformance obligation.

Mission Objectives use the MO requirement prefix.

Each Mission Objective retains its assigned identifier throughout its lifecycle. Do not reuse an identifier assigned to a retired, withdrawn, deprecated, or superseded Mission Objective.

A Mission Objective may be represented by an individual leaf requirement or by a non-leaf requirement group when decomposition into independently verifiable subordinate objectives is required.

Apply the requirement identification, decomposition, source and derivation, normative-language, quality, status, and page-structure rules defined by Annex C.

Preserve Traceability from each Mission Objective to its source material and to the supporting operational, functional, quality, security, and conformance requirements.
