Documentation:
The test element is an abstract element that is meant to be extended (via substitution groups) by the individual tests found in the component schemas. An OVAL Test is used to compare an object(s) against a defined state. An actual test element is not valid. The use of this abstract class simplifies the OVAL schema by allowing individual tests to inherit the optional notes child element, and the id and comment attributes from the base TestType. Please refer to the description of the TestType complex type for more information.
