Containing Schema: oval-definitions-schema.xsd
Abstract
Documentation:
The CriterionType complex type identifies a specific test to be included in the definition's criteria. The required test_ref attribute is the actual id of the test being referenced. The optional negate attribute signifies that the result of an individual test should be negated during analysis. For example, consider a test that evaluates to TRUE if a specific patch is installed. By negating this test, it now evaluates to TRUE if the patch is NOT installed. The optional comment attribute provides a short description of the specified test and should mirror the comment attribute of the actual test.
