Test Identifier

A concise targets list reduces ambiguity, focuses testing on measurable outcomes, and provides an auditable trail of agreed criteria and owners. It improves coordination across teams and supports evidence-based decision making for releases and compliance reviews.
Typical owners prepare and consult the list throughout planning and execution.
Stakeholders reference it for status, acceptance decisions, and post-test reporting.
