Documentation:
This abstract element details the specific platform(s) for which a definition has been written. It is extended by the individual family schemas to incorporate only the valid platforms for the specified family. The inclusion of a particular platform does not mean the definition is physically checking for the existence of the platform. For the actual test to be performed, the correct test must still be included in the definition’s criteria section. The valid platforms are outlined in the platform specific schemas.
