Create a test plan from a Jira work item to organize a testing cycle for that requirement. You can use a work item-based Standard Test Plan or create an Advanced Test Plan with the work item as its starting requirement.
Before you begin
Vansah must be installed and enabled for the Jira space.
You need access to the work item and the Create Test Plans permission in Vansah.
Review the test cases linked to the work item. The creation flow uses its linked test cases to populate the plan.
Start from the Jira work item
Open the Jira work item.
Open its Vansah Test Management panel.
Select the Test Plans tab.
Select the + button to create a test plan.
If the Vansah panel is missing, see Showing the Vansah Panel in Jira Work Items.
Choose the plan type
Choice | When to use it |
A Test Plan Based on a Work Item | Create a Standard Test Plan for the current work item and its linked test cases. |
Advanced Test Plan | Use the current work item as a requirement in an Advanced Test Plan. You can later reconfigure the plan to include other requirements. |
Select the option you need, then select Next. For the differences in how the plans organize testing, see Understanding Standard Test Plans and Creating an Advanced Test Plan.
Enter the plan details
Enter a clear Test Plan Name, such as “Login acceptance testing.” The name can contain up to 255 characters.
Set the Planned start date and Planned end date. The end date must be on or after the start date.
Review the Assignee and choose the person responsible for the plan.
If run properties are shown, set the environment, release, or sprint as needed. Available fields depend on the plan type and Jira space settings.
Select Create. To open the new plan immediately after creation, select Create & Run before choosing Create.
Creating the plan starts its first iteration. It does not record Passed or Failed results for the test cases.
Review the plan before testing
Open the new plan from the work item’s Test Plans tab if it is not already open.
Check the test cases and versions included in the plan. In an Advanced Test Plan, select the work item requirement to see its test cases.
Use Link in the plan if you need to add more test cases, then check the run properties before execution.
See Executing Test Cases from a Test Plan when you are ready to record results.
If you cannot create the plan
The + button is unavailable: Ask your administrator to check your Create Test Plans permission.
Create does not continue: Check the name, dates, and any error displayed in the form.
The plan has no test cases: Check the work item’s linked test cases and add the required cases to the plan.
