Start a test run from the Test Repository when you want to find a test case first, then choose where to record its results. You can run the test case against a linked Jira work item, a test folder, or a test plan.
Before you begin
You need permission to execute test cases in the Jira space where the run will be recorded.
The test case must be available for execution and linked to the work item, folder, or test plan you want to use. A blocked test case or blocked work item cannot be executed.
If you need to set up a link first, see Linking Test Cases to Jira Work Items and Test Folders.
Open the execution dialog
Open your Jira space and select Vansah.
Select the Test Cases tab.
Choose a folder or search for the test case you want to run.
Hover over the test case row and select the play icon labeled Execute.
Choose where to record the results
In Execute Test Case, choose an option under Select Linked, then select the linked item.
Option | When to use it |
Work item | Record the run against a linked Jira work item, such as a story or bug. |
Folder | Record the run against a test folder containing the test case. |
Test Plan | Record the run in a linked test plan. For an Advanced Test Plan, also select the requirement to test. |
For example, select Folder, then use Select a Test Folder to choose the folder for this run.
Complete any required test run properties, such as the test environment, release, or sprint. The fields shown depend on your Jira space settings.
For test plan execution and choosing a particular plan iteration, see Executing Test Cases from a Test Plan.
Execute the test case
Select Execute after choosing the linked item and completing any required fields.
Choose how to record the run:
EXECUTE: Create a new test run and open it to work through the test steps, record actual results, and add evidence.
A result, such as Passed or Failed: Use Quick Test to create a new run with that overall result. This option is available when Quick Test is enabled and supported for the test case.
Each execution from this dialog creates a new test run. To change an existing run, open that run instead.
You can review the saved execution from Test Runs. See Understanding and Viewing Test Runs for more details.
If you cannot start the run
The play icon is unavailable: Check your execution permission and whether the test case or selected work item is blocked.
The item you need is missing: Check that the test case is linked to the correct work item, folder, or plan.
Execute does not continue: Select the linked item and complete the required run properties. For an Advanced Test Plan, select the requirement as well.
Quick Test results are missing: Use EXECUTE to open the run. Quick Test may be disabled or unavailable for the test case’s script type.
