# Test plan sign-off

Record approval of the test plan by using the functionality to sign off a test plan.

Navigate to the test execution sign-off report by navigating to the Test Plan form and clicking the **Sign-off Test Plan** related link. The report provides an overview of the test case results, open test cases, and any open issues as of the current date by using the following information:

-   A count of how many test cases passed, failed, are blocked, or are not tested.
-   A list of the open test cases. This list displays cases that are blocked, failed, in progress, and not executed.
-   A list of open defects and open issues \(\).
-   Sign-off details, including sign-off history.

The test manager can review the details and proceed to sign off the test plan.

Multiple sign-offs can be required for one test plan and a test plan can be signed off even if it has failed test cases. Each sign-off takes a snapshot of the test plan in its current state, saves the snapshot as a PDF, and attaches the file to the test plan. This snapshot captures all test cases, including failed and unexecuted test cases as well as open defects.
