Quick start tests for Vulnerability Response

Validate that Vulnerability Response still works after you make any configuration change such as apply an upgrade or develop an application. Copy and customize these quick start tests to pass when using your instance-specific data.

The test execution property is disabled by default to prevent running tests on a production system. Run tests only on development, test, and other non-production instances. If demo data or demo accounts are created, all demo data should be removed prior to using the instance in non-production or production. See Run the Automated Test Framework (ATF) test suite for Vulnerability Response for more information about setting up and running the test suite for Vulnerability Response.

Vulnerability Response quick start tests require activating the Vulnerability Response application (sn_vul) and loading the demo data.
