Assessment objectives

Assessors don’t evaluate the requirement as one sentence; they walk these objectives one by one. Each must be met for the requirement to score.

  1. 3.1.11[a]conditions requiring a user session to terminate are defined.
  2. 3.1.11[b]a user session is automatically terminated after any of the defined conditions occur.

Inside Valontir, this requirement carries a full plain-English guide: what it asks in normal words, what good looks like in a small shop, the evidence an assessor accepts, the common gaps that cost points, and a plain reading of every assessment objective shown above. See it in a demo.
