Create a Test Case in a Test Folder

Create a Test Case in a Vansah Test Folder, choose its type, and add the details and Test Script needed for testing.

Create a Test Case directly in a Test Folder to organize it with related tests. Start with a clear headline, then open the saved Test Case to complete its details and Test Script.

Before you begin

  • Open the Jira space where you want to manage the Test Case.

  • Make sure you have access to Vansah and permission to create Test Cases. Editing the saved Test Case also requires permission to edit Test Cases.

  • Choose the destination folder. If the Test Case already exists, use Link or Link existing Test Cases to reuse it.

1. Open the Test Folder

  1. Open your Jira space and select Vansah.

  2. Select the main Test Cases tab.

  3. In Test Repository, select the folder where the Test Case belongs.

  4. Keep the folder’s Test Cases tab selected. Check the folder name above the list before creating the Test Case.

2. Create the Test Case

  1. If the folder is empty, use the Add Test Case area. If it already contains Test Cases, select the + button with the Create Test Case tooltip.

  2. Use the arrow beside the Jira space icon to choose the Test Case type. Check that the intended Jira space is selected.

  3. Enter a headline in What needs to be tested? Describe one behavior, for example: Verify that a customer can reset a password with a valid email address.

  4. Select the checkmark (✓) or press Enter to save.

The headline is required and can contain up to 800 characters. The checkmark becomes available after a valid type and a nonblank headline are selected.

After a successful save, the Test Case appears in the selected folder with its own key, such as DEMO-C46. The success message also provides a link to view it.

3. Complete the Test Case

  1. Open the new Test Case from its headline, key, or the link in the success message.

  2. Review the description and add any setup conditions needed before testing. Quick creation initially uses the headline as the description.

  3. Add the Test Script. For a test with multiple steps, describe each action and its expected result. Include test data where it helps the tester repeat the check.

  4. Review the saved details before execution.

For example, a password-reset test could start with an existing customer account, request a reset email, and confirm that the reset link allows the customer to set a new password.

When the Test Case is ready, see Execute a Test Case from a Test Folder.

Add more Test Cases

Select + (Create Test Case) above the folder’s Test Case list and repeat the process. Use a separate headline for each behavior you want to test.

The Test Case is not in the expected folder
