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 user_sid55_object and the optional state element specifies the metadata to check.
The evaluation of the test is guided by the check attribute that is inherited from the TestType.

| user_sid_test |
The user_sid_test is used to check information about Windows users. When the user_sid_test collects the user SIDs on the system,
it should only include the local and built-in user SIDs and not domain user SIDs. However, it is important to note that domain
user SIDs can still be looked up. Also, note that the collection of groups, for which a user is a member, is not recursive.
The only groups that will be collected are those for which the user is a direct member. For example, if a user is a member
of group A, and group A is a member of group B, the only group that will be collected is group A. 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 user_sid_object and the optional state element specifies the metadata to check. The
evaluation of the test is guided by the check attribute that is inherited from the TestType.

| volume_test |
The volume_test is used to check information about different storage volumes found on a Windows system. This includes the
various system flags returned by GetVolumeInformation(). It is important to note that these system flags are specific to certain
versions of Windows. As a result, the documentation for that version of Windows should be consulted for more information.
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 volume_object and the optional state element specifies the
metadata to check. The evaluation of the test is guided by the check attribute that is inherited from the TestType.

| wmi_test |
The wmi test is used to check information accessed by WMI. 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 wmi_object
and the optional state element specifies the metadata to check. The evaluation of the test is guided by the check attribute
that is inherited from the TestType.
|
| wmi57_test |
The wmi57 test is used to check information accessed by WMI. 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 wmi57_object
and the optional state element specifies the metadata to check. The evaluation of the test is guided by the check attribute
that is inherited from the TestType.

| wuaupdatesearcher_test |
The wuaupdatesearcher_test is used to evaluate patch level in a Windows environment utilizing the WUA (Windows Update Agent)
interface. It is based on the Search method of the IUpdateSearcher interface found in the WUA API. 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 wuaupdatesearcher_object and the optional state element specifies the metadata to
check. The evaluation of the test is guided by the check attribute that is inherited from the TestType. Note that WUA can work off of many different sources including WSUS, update.microsoft.com, and a local cab file. The content
source is specific to a given system evaluating a wuaupdatesearcher_test and thus is not defined by this test. The tool being
used for evaluation should determine what content source is best for the system being assessed and then evaluate this test
based on that selection.
