What is the test for standing to bring a claim against a third party beneficiary?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Ablesoft, Inc. v. The Walt Disney Co., B304155 (Cal. App. 2021):

Every action must be prosecuted in the name of the real party in interest, except as otherwise provided by statute. ( 367.) It is elementary that a party asserting a claim must have standing to do so. In asserting a claim based upon a contract, this generally requires the party to be a signatory to the contract, or to be an intended third party beneficiary. (Berclain America Latina v. Baan Co. (1999) 74 Cal.App.4th 401, 405.)
