User application notes
This component provides support for the testing of the critical functions of the TSF's operation by requiring the ability to invoke testing functions and check the integrity of TSF data and executable code.
Evaluator application notes
It is acceptable for the functions that are available to the authorised user for periodic testing to be available only in an off-line or maintenance mode. Controls should be in place to limit access during these modes to authorised users.
Operations

In FPT_TST.1 the PP/ST author should specify when the TSF will execute the TSF test; during initial start-up, periodically during normal operation, at the request of an authorised user, at other conditions. In the case of the latter option, the PP/ST author should also assign what those conditions are via the following assignment.
Assignment:
In FPT_TST.1.1 the PP/ST author should, if selected, specify the conditions under which the self test should take place.
