Test Case Review Workflow

Implement quality gates for test cases with built-in review and approval

Test case review ensures quality before execution. Learn how to implement an effective review workflow that catches issues early and maintains test suite quality.

The Challenge

Without review, test case quality varies:

  • Unclear or ambiguous test steps
  • Missing preconditions and expected results
  • Duplicate or overlapping tests
  • Tests that don't match requirements
  • Inconsistent quality across team members
