8 Workflow for STSA Objects

A workflow is a defined sequence of stages or steps that an STSA object goes through from its creation to completion. Each stage in the workflow represents a specific point in the life cycle of the object, and each object progresses through these stages, and incrementally by changing its status as it moves along the workflow.

The following is the list of status for each object in STSA:

• Draft - Once you create an object, it is automatically assigned to the Draft stage. At this stage, you can continue to work on it.
• Sending for Comments - Before the object undergoes formal review, you can send it to the relevant stakeholders or team members for comments and feedback. This stage allows for collaborative input to improve the object's quality before formal review.
• Submit for Review - After you have created the object and completed the initial drafting phase, you can move it to the Under Review stage. Here, they undergo assessment and evaluation by relevant stakeholders for accuracy, quality, compliance, or any other criteria.
• Reject - If during the review process an object is found to be unsatisfactory or requires revisions, it may be rejected. This means that the object needs further refinement or correction before it can progress. Once an object is rejected it is moved back to Draft state and you have to initiate the review cycle again.
• Sending for Approval - After an object successfully passes the review stage, it enters the Approval stage. At this point, it has met all the required criteria and is acceptable and used in stress testing.
