CAST Engineering Dashboard - Information - What should be the content of the action plan when a previous snapshot is deleted

Purpose

This page describes the functional expectation regarding the content of the action plan in the Cast Engineering Dashboard when a previous snapshot is deleted. In particular, here is the scenario taken into account to explain the functional expectation. We suppose we have 5 snapshots (snapshot_id 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and some violations added to action plan in snapshot 2. As part of cleanup, snapshot_id 2 is deleted from CMS and  consolidation for snapshot 3 is done (consolidation for 4 & 5 not required).

In this scenario, what should be the expectation regarding the content of the action plan?

Details

Here is the functional expectation for the scenario provided (functional expectation is the same for all CAST versions)

If there is a violation selected for action in snapshot 2: For this scenario, we have 2 cases:

  1. Violation has been selected for action in snapshot 2 and then removed from selection in snapshot 3. When snapshot 2 is removed, then it is normal for the violation to no longer appear in the action plan
  2. Violation has been selected for action in snapshot 2 and then kept for action in snapshot 3. When snapshot 2 is removed, then the violation should appear in the action plan
