+## Description
+
+This test checks the events are generated properly for policyexceptions.
+
+## Steps
+
+1.  - Create a cluster policy
+    - Assert the policy becomes ready
+1.  - Create a policy exception for the cluster policy created above but for a specific namespace
+1.  - Try to create a pod, expecting two events are created, one for the clusterpolicy, another is for policyexception
+
