Every now and then, you may want to dispute a grade you received in Maestro. This could be because you think you deserved a higher grade or because you just want to learn more about why a certain score was given.
In Maestro, a score dispute is called an Appeal.
Can I Appeal a Score Within MaestroQA?
If your team has Appeals enabled, you will see a blue "Start Appeal" button on your ticket. Click that to begin your Appeal (see more detailed instructions below).
If you do not see the blue "Start Appeal" button on your ticket, this means your team does not have Appeals enabled, and you'll need to reach out to your Manager or Team Lead at your company to ask about the score. They will be able to go over specifics of your team's workflow and discuss any feedback on your grades.
