Abstract
Documentation:
The variable test allows the value of a variable to be compared to a defined value. As an example one might use this test to validate that a variable being passed in from an external source falls within a specified range. It extends the standard TestType as defined in the oval-definitions-schema and one should refer to the TestType description for more information. The required object element references a variable_object and the optional state element specifies the value to check. The evaluation of the test is guided by the check attribute that is inherited from the TestType.
