  4. The Part 11 Compliance is enabled for the project. User authentication will be asked before changing the status of test cases as well as test steps. Users can opt to disable the compliance for the test step level.

    • Disable Part 11 for Test Step Level: By default, the option remains unchecked. Hence, the authentication screen pops up on the execution screen for every step for which you try to change its status. To stop asking for user credentials at the step-level execution, check the check box and enable the option. The user credentials will then be required only at the test case level execution.
