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.
