- Decision: Create reviewable collections for normal, invalid, unauthorised, and repeated requests using controlled environments.
- Evidence to request: show that the same expected result can be reproduced under normal, invalid, and failure conditions.
- Owner: name who will respond if manual requests contain personal credentials or cannot be reproduced by another reviewer.
- Record the result in the test plan and recorded evidence.
- Practical review: Repeat a report purchase with a failed payment, a refresh after checkout, and a delayed delivery before release.
