 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +An Operational Resource is a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:resource|Resource]] used to perform or support an operational activity.
 +
 +An Operational Resource can include:
 +
 +  * A person
 +  * An [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:o:organization|Organization]]
 +  * A [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:n:node|Node]]
 +  * A [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:n:node_set|Node Set]]
 +  * A service
 +  * A software component
 +  * A physical machine
 +  * A virtual machine
 +  * A container
 +  * A network
 +  * A storage facility
 +  * A database
 +  * An [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:execution_facility|Execution Facility]]
 +  * A [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:deployment_target|Deployment Target]]
 +  * A test instrument
 +  * A communication facility
 +  * An external system
 +  * Another resource required to conduct or support operations
 +
 +An Operational Resource can identify:
 +
 +  * Its identity
 +  * Its name
 +  * Its description
 +  * Its type
 +  * Its [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:v:version|Version]]
 +  * Its owner
 +  * Its operator
 +  * Its applicable [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:role|Roles]]
 +  * Its provided capabilities
 +  * Its required capabilities
 +  * Its interfaces
 +  * Its applicable [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:endpoint|Endpoints]]
 +  * Its dependencies
 +  * Its configuration
 +  * Its availability
 +  * Its capacity
 +  * Its operational status
 +  * Its applicable [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:g:governance_policy|Governance Policies]]
 +  * Its [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:p:provenance|Provenance]]
 +  * Its [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:traceability|Traceability]]
 +
 +A [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_environment|Test Environment]] can contain, identify, allocate, configure, or provide access to Operational Resources required for [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_execution|Test Execution]].

 +===== Definition =====
 +
 +//[[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:resource|Resource]] used to perform or support an operational activity//
 +
 +===== Source =====
 +
 +Adapted from:
 +
 +  * [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:resource|Resource]]
 +  * [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_environment|Test Environment]]
 +  * DIDO Reference Architecture
 +  * DIDO Reference Implementation Conceptual Model
 +  * DIDO-TE draft Requirements Register
 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +Every Operational Resource is a Resource. A Resource is not necessarily an Operational Resource.
 +
 +A Resource becomes an Operational Resource when an operational activity uses or depends on it.
 +
 +An Operational Resource differs from a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_environment|Test Environment]]:
 +
 +  * An Operational Resource performs or supports an operational activity
 +  * A Test Environment identifies the conditions, configurations, dependencies, and Operational Resources required to conduct testing
 +
 +An Operational Resource differs from a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:deployment_target|Deployment Target]]:
 +
 +  * An Operational Resource performs or supports an operational activity
 +  * A Deployment Target provides a destination for installing, configuring, or activating a deployable artifact
 +
 +The same resource can satisfy both definitions.
 +
 +An Operational Resource differs from an [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:execution_facility|Execution Facility]]:
 +
 +  * An Operational Resource performs or supports an operational activity
 +  * An Execution Facility interprets or performs [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:executable_instruction|Executable Instructions]]
 +
 +Every Execution Facility used operationally is an Operational Resource. An Operational Resource is not necessarily an Execution Facility.
 +
 +An Operational Resource can be:
 +
 +  * Dedicated or shared
 +  * Permanent or temporary
 +  * Local or remote
 +  * Physical or virtual
 +  * Human-operated or automated
 +  * Internal or external to the system
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A DIDO-TE [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_environment|Test Environment]] uses the following Operational Resources:
 +
 +  * Three Nodes forming a Node Set
 +  * A container runtime
 +  * A test automation service
 +  * A database
 +  * A communication network
 +  * An Artifact Repository
 +  * A monitoring service
 +  * A User acting in the Test Operator Role
 +
 +Each Operational Resource supports the applicable Test Execution and appears in the resulting [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_run|Test Run]] record.
