Problem

OneTrust QA engineers need to reconcile test cases defined for the OneTrust Privacy Management platform with their recorded test executions. Write a PostgreSQL query that returns matching and non-matching records from both sources.

Requirements

  1. Use a FULL OUTER JOIN on test_case_id so unmatched rows from either table are retained.
  2. Return the shared test case ID, test case name, execution ID, and execution status.
  3. Add a match_status column containing Matched, Missing Execution, or Unregistered Execution using CASE.
  4. Sort by the combined test case ID ascending, placing a null combined ID last.
