1	simp-core		Verify Puppet File matches release versions								This must be completed before any other tests are done
2	installation		Verify installation from ISO
3	installation		Verify installation from RPM
4	simp-core		Create and verify Changelog.rst								This addresses STIG updates and Compliance Markup modules changes.
5	simp-doc,		'Upgrading SIMP' has an entry for the latest version and is correct
