Testing Controls

After the content implementation, the content should be tested to verify that it is working as expected. Testing might require steps such as the following:

These steps should be added when the Solution Pack is created in Solution Designer.

To test a control:

  1. Open a Solution Pack in Solution Manager.

  2. Select a control.

  3. Click the Testing tab in the Documentation frame.

  4. Follow all of the instructions in the Testing tab.

  5. Add notes to the Notes tab of the Documentation frame as necessary to document progress or necessary deviations from the recommended testing steps.

  6. When the testing is complete, select the control and change the status drop-down to Tested.

An audit event is generated and sent to the Sentinel Control Center.

Because of potential legal and regulatory implications, the status for a control should only be changed after all of the testing steps have been successfully completed.

NOTE:A control must be installed and should be implemented before it can be tested.
