Abstract
Documentation:
The subtest element specifies a particular test to be referenced. The required test_ref attribute accomplishes this by linking to a valid test id. The optional 'negate' attribute signifies that the result of an individual test should be negated during analysis. For example, consider a test that returns TRUE if a specific patch is installed. By negating this test, it now analyzes to TRUE if the patch is NOT installed. The required result attribute holds the result of the analysis, either true, false, or error.
