Issue
Paragraph 447 states that
an additional objective for ATE_FUN.2 is to structure testing in order
to avoid
circular arguments. This does not reflect the additional element in
this
component, and makes little sense.
Interpretation
Preventing circular arguments
is not the purpose for ordering of testing. The purpose of the ordering
of
tests is detailed in Specific Changes, below.
Specific Changes
CC Part 3, Section 13.3 is
changed as follows:
In
this component, an additional objective is to ensure that dependencies
between
tests are identified and understood. This understanding reduces the
likelihood
that results of tests performed by different parties or at different
times will
vary due to the order in which the tests were performed.
Rationale
This interpretation provides
the useful purpose for ordering of testing.
