This is achieved by testing the same DUT -application version between releases of CSIT test system. This works -under the assumption that the behaviour of the DUT is deterministic -under the test conditions. - -CSIT test environment versioning scheme ensures integrity of all the -test system components, including their HW revisions, compiled SW code -versions and SW source code, within a specific CSIT version.
