Alternative definition : BRIDG 5.3: A coded value spedifying the points in the course of an activity when a
precondition for the activity is evaluated. EXAMPLE(S) When the checkpointCode for
a criterion of a repeatable activity is end, the criterion is tested only at the end
of each repetition of that activity. When the condition holds true, the next repetition
is ready for execution. When the checkpointCode is entry, the criterion is checked
at the beginning of each repetition, if any, whereas beginning means the criterion
is checked only once before the repetition loop starts. NOTE(S): The checkpointCode
specifies when the precondition is to be checked; it is analogous to the various conditional
statements and loop constructs in programming languages while-do vs. do-while or repeat-until
vs. loop-exit.;
