  2. TC_007 (Validation Rules Access) → TC_008 (Enable/Disable Rules)
  3. TC_010 (Validator Setup) → TC_026 (Validator Workflow)

Parallel Execution Groups:

  • Group A: TC_002, TC_003, TC_004, TC_005 (Dashboard components)
  • Group B: TC_008, TC_012 (Configuration functions)
  • Group C: TC_016, TC_017, TC_018 (API tests)

Blocking Relationships:

  • Configuration tests (TC_007-TC_012) block workflow tests (TC_025-TC_026)
  • Authentication tests (TC_001, TC_016) block all other tests
  • Security tests (TC_019, TC_027, TC_028) can run independently
