Enabling governance at test case log level

Govern a test case log directly in Test Manager, independently of its parent test case's governance state.

A test case log's governance state is inherited from its parent test case at creation. This topic explains how to govern a test case log directly, independently of its parent test case, for example if a log was created before its parent test case was governed, or if you need to govern a specific log without governing the whole test case.

Prerequisites

To enable governance on a test case log, 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. Go to the test set execution or test case log view containing the log you want to govern.
2. Open the test case log.
3. Toggle on the Governed option for the log. The log's state is set to In Work. The Governance section becomes visible and enabled.
4. Assign approvers to the log, as described in Managing approvers for governed test case logs.

Result

Governance is enabled for the test case log, independently of the parent test case's governance state. The log is now a disjoint governed entity: subsequently disabling governance on the parent test case has no effect on this log.
