Create a new Test Data Collection version when you need a separate set of test data to update or extend. Vansah copies the selected version’s variables and iterations so you can work with the new version while keeping the earlier version available.
Before you begin
Open Test Environments in Vansah and select an existing Test Data Collection.
Make sure you have permission to edit Test Data Collections.
Decide which existing collection version to copy. Review its data before using it as the starting point.
Create the version
Select the Test Data Collection.
Open the Version menu and select Create New Version.
Enter a descriptive Name, such as Checkout regression data. The name field accepts up to 50 characters.
Under Copy from, choose the version you want to copy. Check this selection even if Vansah has already filled it in.
Optional: select Set Default if this should become the collection’s default version. Otherwise, leave it unchecked.
Select Create and wait for the confirmation.
Check the new version
Open the Version menu again and select the new version. Do not assume it is selected after creation, especially if you left Set Default unchecked.
Review the copied variable names, values, descriptions, and sensitive-value settings.
Select each relevant iteration and check its values. The copy includes the source version’s existing iterations.
Make any changes in the new version and save them. Check the collection version and iteration selected for your test before running it.
Understand versions and defaults
These steps apply to collections opened from Test Environments. A Test Case’s collection is managed within its selected Test Case version. A collection version is a separate copy of the test data; it is not a read-only snapshot. Creating it does not archive or delete the source version.
Set Default replaces the collection’s previous default. It does not mean that every test or existing selection automatically switches to the new version. Confirm the data selection for the workflow you are using.
Use Version → Manage versions to review versions, rename a version, or change the default. A default version cannot be archived until another version is made the default.
If creation does not complete
Check that the Name is filled in and that Copy from points to an available version. If you receive an error, reopen the Version menu and check whether the new version already exists before trying again.
