Enforcing signing order for governed test cases

Require approvers on a governed test case in Test Manager to sign in a defined sequence instead of any order, and limit voiding to the last signature.

By default, approvers can sign a governed test case in any order. You can instead require approvers to sign strictly in a defined sequence. When signing order is enforced, only the last signature can be voided. This setting applies to test cases only; it does not apply to test case logs, and a log does not inherit it from its parent test case. Even when a log's parent test case has Enforce signing order on, the log's own approvers can still sign in any order.

Context​

The setting exists at two levels:

  • Project level (Project Settings > Governance > Signing order): sets the default for newly created test cases. See Enabling governance at project level.
  • Object level (the Governance tab of an individual test case, next to Actions): overrides the default for that test case. The steps below set the order at this level.

Prerequisites​

To change the signing order, you must hold the Test Manager Administrator role, the Test Governance Administrator role, the Project Owner role, or be assigned the Test Process Governance permission.

Steps​

  1. Open a governed test case and select the Governance tab.
  2. Toggle on Enforce signing order.
  3. Select Actions > Change order.
  4. On the Change signing order page, reorder the approvers into the sequence in which they must sign.

Result​

Approvers on this test case must now sign strictly in the order set. An approver can sign only once every approver earlier in the order has signed. If it is not their turn yet, no signing action is shown for their row. Only the last signature can be voided, not the ones before it. See Managing governed test cases in the In Review state for the full signing procedure.
