 +====== Test Procedure ======
  
 +[[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:start|Go up to Terms and Definitions]]
 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +A Test Procedure specifies the ordered activities that implement part or all of a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_definition|Test Definition]] during a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_execution|Test Execution]].
 +
 +The Test Procedure translates the intent and conditions of the Test Definition into executable activities. These activities include preparing the [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_environment|Test Environment]], establishing preconditions, supplying [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:test_input|Test Inputs]], interacting with the [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:candidate_solution|Candidate Solution]], collecting [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:o:observation|Observations]], and restoring or terminating the Test Environment.
 +
 +A Test Procedure differs from a test script. A Test Procedure specifies the activities and their order independently of the mechanism used to perform them. A test script represents an executable implementation that automates some or all of those activities.
 +
 +===== Definition =====
 +
 +//ordered set of activities that implements part or all of a test definition during a test execution//
 +
 +===== Source =====
 +
 +Adapted from the test-process and test-documentation concepts described by:
 +
 +  * [[https://www.iso.org/standard/79428.html|ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-2:2021, Software and systems engineering — Software testing — Part 2: Test processes]]
 +  * [[https://www.iso.org/standard/79429.html|ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119-3:2021, Software and systems engineering — Software testing — Part 3: Test documentation]]
 +  * [[https://glossary.istqb.org/en_US/term/test-procedure|ISTQB Glossary, “test procedure”]]
 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +A Test Procedure identifies or references:
 +
 +  * The applicable Test Definition
 +  * Preconditions
 +  * Required Test Resources
 +  * Required Test Environment
 +  * Test Inputs
 +  * Ordered test activities
 +  * Expected Results
 +  * Observation and Evidence collection activities
 +  * Completion conditions
 +  * Cleanup or restoration activities
 +  * Applicable exception-handling activities
 +
 +A Test Procedure supports manual execution, automated execution, or a combination of manual and automated execution.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +A Test Procedure directs DIDO-TE to:
 +
 +  - Prepare the designated Test Environment
 +  - Confirm the Candidate Solution version
 +  - Supply a Transfer Bundle with a known integrity defect
 +  - Direct the Candidate Solution to import the Transfer Bundle
 +  - Record the response and associated log entries
 +  - Confirm whether deployment activities began
 +  - Preserve the resulting Observations and Evidence
 +  - Restore the Test Environment to its required state
