Security sends a forty-question vendor questionnaire. Legal asks whether your test cases contain customer PII or staging screenshots. Procurement forwards next year's per-seat renewal.
The decision is not which UI looks best in a demo. It is whether you can keep sensitive test knowledge off a vendor's cloud — without staffing a server farm.
Test cases are not harmless notes. They hold user stories, credentials in steps, production-like screenshots, and run history. For finance, healthcare, or EU-facing teams, that is operational data — not "just QA."
