Sign Off & Conditional Sign Off

QA Sign Off

The main aim of a QA is to make sure that the software meets the customer’s needs without harming the application.

The formal way of declaring this process is Sign Off. The QA can acknowledge that they have reviewed and tested the application and now the application is ready to release.

Who all are responsible for Sign Off?

This process has been done after doing the complete testing of the software by the testing team.

When the testing team tests the application completely and when the exit criteria meet, they can send the mail/communicate for Sign Off.

Usually, the Test Manager, Project Manager, and Business Analyst takes the responsibilities and agrees to the QA Sign Off.
