SYSE.32:1 - Problem frame

Use this pattern when a tested software package must cross an environment, storage service or provider boundary and someone needs to rely on it being the same qualified result. Start with the actual artifact that was exercised, the evidence needed at the destination, and the conditions under which that evidence remains applicable.

The first result is an artifact-specific basis for promotion, or an exact identity, evidence or trust condition that has not been met. Promotion here means making the selected artifact available for a next use without silently replacing it. It does not mean that a runtime has been installed. SYSE.41 performs that installation and checks its actual result.

If an unchanged artifact is already available at the consumer with adequate identity and applicable evidence, use that result. If the missing result is a recoverable build, use SYSE.30. If it is application acceptance, obtain the relevant engineering feedback through SYSE.31. A storage transfer cannot supply either.
