1. A method comprising:
- analyzing or facilitating analyzing, by a computing device, one or more test failures related to one or more policy tests within a computer network;
based upon a result of the analyzing of the one or more test failures, creating or facilitating creating, by the computing device, a remediation work order that specifies at least one of the one or more test failures;
reviewing or facilitating reviewing, by the computing device, each test failure specified within the remediation work order to approve or deny remediation for the test failure; and
executing or facilitating execution, by the computing device, for each test failure that is approved for remediation, a remediation process that corresponds to the particular test failure that is approved for remediation,wherein the reviewing or facilitating reviewing comprises denying remediation for at least one of the test failures specified within the remediation work order and associated with a target host because the remediation would disable one or more security applications or needed business applications on the target host.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and articles associated with remediation workflow. A method may include determining one or more test failures related to a policy test within a computer network, and reviewing the one or more test failures. The method may further include, based upon a result of the reviewing, creating a remediation work order that includes at least one of the one or more test failures. Each test failure within the remediation work order may be approved or denied. For each test failure that is approved for remediation, a remediation process may be executed.

9. An article of manufacture comprising:
-
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium; and a plurality of programming instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium and configured to enable one or more computing devices, in response to execution of the programming instruction, to perform operations including; obtaining or facilitating obtaining, one or more test failures related to one or more policy tests within a computer network; creating or facilitating creating, a remediation work order that includes at least one of the one or more test failures; approving or facilitating approving, at least one of the one or more test failure failures of the remediation order, for remediation; and executing or facilitating executing, for each test failure that is approved for remediation, a remediation process that corresponds to a particular test failure that is approved for remediation, wherein the reviewing or facilitating reviewing comprises denying remediation for at least one of the test failures specified within the remediation work order and associated with a target host because the remediation would disable one or more security applications or needed business applications on the target host. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. An article of manufacture, comprising:
-
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium; and a plurality of programming instructions stored on the computer-readable storage medium and configured to enable one or more computing devices, in response to execution of the programming instructions, to perform operations comprising; in response to one or more policy test failures, generating a remediation work order specifying the one or more policy test failures; for each of the one or more policy test failures specified within the remediation work order, approving or denying remediation of the test failure based on an application type for an application associated with the test failure; and executing a remediation process for each of the one or more policy test failures that is approved for remediation, wherein the approving or denying comprises denying remediation of a respective test failure because it is associated with an application being upgraded.
