Definition Type: Element
Name: test
Namespace: http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval
Type: oval:testType
Containing Schema: oval-schema.xsd
Abstract True
Documentation:
This is an abstract element that is meant to be extended (via substitution groups) by the tests found in the family schemas. An actual test element is not valid. The use of this abstract class simplifies the OVAL schema and allows descriptive element names to be used in place of test. The abstract test element inherits the optional notes child element, and the id and comment attributes from the base testType. A description of the notes element can be found under the definitions section. Please refer to the "Complex Types" section of this document for a description of the testType.
