Is there a deeper meaning that in some inspec profiles a title is placed at the beginning within the control rb files?

inspec
 |-controls
     |-example.rb
     |-meta.rb
 |-libraries
 inspec.yaml

The example.rb file looks like:

# copyright: 2015, Chef Software, Inc.

title 'Example' # <- where will this title be displayed or shown?

control 'example-01' do
 title 'title for example-01' # <- this is understandable for me
 ...
end

Will this title "Example" be given out somewhere at some point?

from inspec docs:

In various use cases like implementing IT compliance across different departments, it becomes handy to extend the control with metadata. Each control may define an additional impact, title or desc.

the title is not mandatory, it is there to give an extra information.

  • This is totally true and understandable for controls. My question is not aimed at the title in a control, but rather at the title outside of a control. – user5580578 Jun 21 '21 at 08:14
