Test Plan Timeline View

Plan, schedule, and track your testing with a powerful new visual timeline.

We're introducing a brand-new Timeline View for Test Plans, giving QA teams a clear, interactive way to visualize test plans, iterations, and schedules across releases and sprints.

Instead of viewing test plans as a simple list, you'll be able to see how testing activities are planned over time, making it easier to coordinate Testing and monitor progress.

The new Timeline View gives you a high-level perspective of your testing activities, making it easier to:

  • Plan testing across multiple sprints and releases.

  • Visualize overlapping test plans and execution windows.

  • Track test plan iterations in context.

  • Improve release coordination and QA planning.

  • Quickly understand what's happening now and what's coming next.

Whether you're managing a single project or coordinating testing across multiple teams, the Test Plan Timeline View helps you stay organized and keep your releases on track.

This delivers:

  • Authentication using your Atlassian account with Atlassian OAuth 2.0

  • No more manually entering your Jira email address or API token.

  • Authentication is securely handled through Atlassian Forge.

Workspace Audit Trail

Vansah Audit trail provides complete Testing visibility into user activity across your Jira workspace. Whether you're meeting compliance requirements, investigating changes, or simply improving team accountability, Audit Trail gives you a detailed history of who changed what, when, and where.

Designed for enterprise QA teams, Audit Trail helps strengthen governance while making it easier to track testing activity directly within Jira.

Audit Trail is available for both Vansah Standard and more enterprise features in Vansah Advanced edition.

Custom Test Result Management

We're introducing a major enhancement to Test Result Management in Vansah, giving teams greater flexibility to customize how test execution results are defined and managed.

What's changed

  • Create Custom Test Results - Define your own Test Result names to match your team's workflow.

  • Project/Space-Level Scoping - Make custom results available across all Jira spaces or limit them to specific spaces.

  • New Blocked Result - Blocked is now a dedicated result type that automatically updates the overall test run while allowing testers to continue executing remaining steps.

  • Improved Result Display - Results now display with both color indicators and text labels for better visibility across execution screens, work items, reports, and exports.

Test Plan Execution

We've introduced a completely revamped Test Plan Execution experience, giving you more control, better visibility, and faster workflows when executing test plans.

Enhanced Multi-Step Test Script Experience

We've improved the Test Case experience. These enhancements make test scripts easier to create, understand, manage helping teams work more efficiently when handling detailed testing workflows supporting:

  1. Complex, multi-step test scenarios.

  2. Improved the visual structure and organization of test steps for greater clarity and readability.

  3. Streamlined navigation through test scripts, making it easier to follow

New Test Run & Execution Page Redesign

A complete UI overhaul of the Test Run page and Test Folder screen delivering a cleaner, more responsive, and easier-to-use execution experience.

Redesigned Test Execution UI

  • All-new test run page with a modernized step layout, toolbar, and details tab

  • New test execution toolbar with search, collapse/expand, and data column controls

Redesigned Test Folder Tree View

  • New UI for the folder tree with an updated test case tab

  • Improved space utilization less screen real estate consumed by the tree panel

Responsive Design (14" laptops & small screens)

  • Action / Data / Expected / Actual fields stack vertically on narrow screens

  • Progress bar hidden on small viewports; run summary condensed to dot + number chips

  • Toolbar actions (Pause, Pass All, Fail All, Reset) become icon-only on small screens

  • Auto resize between stacked and column layouts now works correctly

New Project Availability Controls

We have recently introduced a redesigned configuration experience that gives admins full control over where Vansah runs across your Jira spaces.

Two Configuration Modes

Enabled by Default

Vansah is active across all projects, with the ability to exclude selected projects.
(This matches the current behavior.)

Disabled by Default

Vansah starts disabled across all projects, and admins explicitly choose which projects to enable.

AI Test Generation That Finally Understands Jira Attachments

You can now select attachments directly from Jira work items such as specifications, documents, wireframes, and spreadsheets and include them as trusted context when generating AI-powered test cases.

Selected attachments will be:

  • Explicitly chosen by the user

  • Analyzed once and securely reused (cached if enabled)

  • Summarized for review before test generation (allowing you to further enhance the attachment summary)

  • Treated as first-class requirement inputs alongside Jira tickets and folders

This capability will be available across Vansah Advanced edition.

Vansah Editions (Standard + Advanced)

Vansah now comes in two editions to give teams the flexibility to choose the level of intelligence, governance, and scale that best fits their needs.

The Two Editions

  • Vansah Standard
    Core Test Management with standard Vansah Intelligence AI, workflow validation, and version control ideal for teams getting started or running focused testing workflows.

  • Vansah Advanced
    Full contextual AI, enterprise-grade governance, advanced data management, AI reporting, and scalability designed for complex, regulated, and fast-growing teams.

Customers will be able to upgrade or downgrade instantly between editions directly from the Atlassian Marketplace inside Jira with no reinstall required.

Export Test Cases as a Cucumber Feature File

Vansah now supports exporting BDD-style Test Cases directly as Cucumber .feature files, enabling seamless integration with Cucumber-based automation frameworks and BDD workflows.

This feature allows teams to reuse BDD Test Cases authored in Vansah and execute them externally using standard Cucumber tooling.


  • Export BDD Test Cases from Vansah as Cucumber .feature files

  • Generate valid Gherkin syntax aligned with Cucumber requirements

  • Bulk export multiple Test Cases in a single action

  • Include both Test Case details and BDD test scripts in the export

  • Download generated .feature files directly from the Vansah UI

Improved User Interface for Vansah Board

We’ve refined the Vansah board layout by removing a redundant header and simplifying the board structure. This update improves vertical space usage, aligns the header and ensures page content expands resulting in a cleaner, more focused working experience.

Testing Scope for Vansah Intelligence (AI)

We’ve introduced Testing Scope as an optional control in Vansah Intelligence Test Case Generation, giving teams greater precision over how AI designs test cases.

Testing Scope uses existing Jira labels to guide Vansah Intelligence toward a specific testing focus such as negative, boundary, migration, performance, or error-handling scenarios without requiring any changes to how requirements are written.

Available as an optional dropdown during AI generation, Testing Scope integrates seamlessly with your current Jira workflows. If no scope is selected, Vansah behaves exactly as before, ensuring predictable and backward-compatible results.

Any selected Testing Scope is automatically linked to the Test Case Label field, making it easy to identify, organize, and differentiate test cases across your test repository.

Test Data Parameters for Test Cases

In our last release, Vansah introduced Test Data Collections a major step forward in how teams manage and reuse test data across test cases, executions, and cycles.

Now, we’re completing that vision with the introduction of embedding Test Data Parameters into Test Scripts.

Test data is no longer static text locked inside steps. Instead, variables from your Test Data Collections can be inserted directly into test steps and scripts, allowing the same test logic to adapt seamlessly across environments, users, configurations, and scenarios.

Test Data Collection: Iterations (Rows)

We have introduced Iterations to Test Data Collections a powerful way to define a variable once and execute it across multiple data rows.

With Iterations, a single test case can now validate multiple scenarios without duplication. Easily model positive, negative, and edge-case data variations using the same test logic.

What this enables

  • One Test Case. Multiple Data Scenarios.

  • Run positive and negative flows in parallel using different data rows

  • Eliminate duplicated test cases created only to change input values

  • Scale data-driven testing without increasing maintenance effort

This enhancement transforms test data from static, single-use values into a dynamic, reusable data layer, enabling broader coverage, faster execution, and more resilient testing at scale.

Epic Traceability View

Because Epics represent a roll-up of child and linked work items, the standard Vansah Test Management panel isn’t always the right fit.

This update replaces that experience with an interactive traceability summary at the Epic Work Item level, allowing teams to immediately understand and manage testing across the full scope of an Epic.

With the Epic Traceability View, you’ll be able to:

  • View rolled-up test progress and coverage directly on an Epic

  • Drill into child and linked work items to inspect detailed test results

  • Control visibility through project-level settings for Epics

  • Use the same familiar traceability insights experience already available in Vansah reports and gadgets
