Executing an audit test
Prerequisites
- Access to the Execution > Audit execution (AU013) menu.
- Access to the My tasks > Audit > Audit execution menu.
- Test plan associated with the structure of a working paper.
Introduction
After associating the test plans with the working paper structure during the execution of the audit, it is necessary to execute the audit test.
See how to perform this operation:
Executing an audit test with population
1. Access the Execution > Audit execution (AU013) menu or the My tasks > Audit > Audit execution menu.
2. Select the audit, whose execution is in progress, in which you wish to execute the audit test.
3. In the Display field, in the third quadrant, select the Working paper option.
4. Click on the 
sidebar toolbar button.
• The editing of the fields available in the Sample configuration section must have been enabled during the association of the test plan in the population data. See further details in the Creating population templates for audit tests article.
• If attributes for the sample have been associated in the test plan, the Attribute field will be displayed during the execution of the test. For more details on what attributes are and how to fill them out, refer to the What is an attribute? article.
• If the associated attribute must necessarily be filled, it will not be possible to close the test without doing so.
• The answer options for the audit test questions vary according to the evaluation criterion defined for the audit tests during the configuration of the audit category or during the definition of the audit scope. This rule is valid for both requirement audits and plan and control audits.
Executing an audit test without population
If the test plan associated with the structure has been configured without a population, the samples for the audit test are generated differently.
1. Access the Execution > Audit execution (AU013) menu or the My tasks > Audit > Audit execution menu.
2. Select the audit, whose execution is in progress, in which you wish to execute the audit test.
3. In the Display field, in the third quadrant, select the Working paper option.
4. Click on the sidebar toolbar button.
5. Select the audit test in the structure and click on the Execute test button.
6. In the # of samples field, specify to how many samples the test will be applied and click on the Generate samples button.
7. Click on the Start test button.
8. Proceed with the audit test execution. See more details in the video above, in the Executing an audit test with population topic.
Conclusion
All done! Now you know how to execute audit tests.
