Execute a linked Vansah Test Case from a Jira work item when you want to record testing for that story, requirement, or bug. Choose a new Test Run for a new execution, or open the displayed run to continue existing testing.
Before you begin
Make sure you can access the Jira space and work item and have Vansah permission to execute Test Cases.
Link the Test Case to the Jira work item before starting.
Check that the Test Case is not blocked in this context.
Complete any Environment, Version, or Sprint values required by the Jira space’s execution settings.
1. Find the linked Test Case
Open the Jira work item.
Find the Vansah Test Management panel and select Test Cases.
Find the linked Test Case, hover over its row, and select Execute (the play icon).
2. Choose a new or existing run
Option | What it does |
New Test Run | Creates a separate execution for the current work item. Use this for a new test or retest. |
Edit Test Run | Opens the run currently shown for the Test Case so you can review or continue it. Available when an existing run is shown. |
Quick Test | Records a chosen result directly. Available for manual cases when Quick Test is enabled in the Jira space. |
Check the displayed Test Run before editing it. If you need a separate execution for the current work item, select New Test Run.
When New Test Run offers a destination, choose Run in current window or Run in a new window.
3. Record the manual test results
Review the Test Case version, steps, test data, and required execution properties.
Perform each test action and choose the appropriate result for the step.
Enter the observed outcome in Actual Result. Add relevant screenshots, files, or linked work items as evidence.
Review the overall result and remaining Untested steps before treating the run as complete.
Use Edit Test Run to continue that execution. Use New Test Run to keep the earlier record and create a separate retest. See Executing Test Cases: Overview for more about step results and evidence.
Record a Quick Test result
Open the linked Test Case’s Execute menu.
If Update Last Test Run appears, check the displayed run and the checkbox. Selected updates that run; cleared creates a new run for the current work item.
Select the required result under Quick Test.
Wait for the update to finish, then check the result and Test Run.
Quick Test records the selected result immediately. Use a full Test Run when individual steps need different outcomes. Your team may use customized result names.
Review the saved execution
Open Test Runs in the work item’s Vansah panel and select the run you want to review. This tab lists runs; it does not automatically open one particular execution.
Check the run’s result, tester, tested date, properties, logs, and evidence. If a run is not visible, review the date range and other filters.
Use the work item’s Report tab for testing progress and result totals. See View Test Results in a Jira Work Item.
If execution is unavailable or a result looks wrong
The Test Case is missing: Confirm that it is linked to this work item and clear any grid filters.
Execute is unavailable: Check execution permission and whether the Test Case is blocked.
Required properties are highlighted: Complete the execution setup before trying again.
Quick Test is missing: Ask your Jira space administrator to check the setting. Automation Test Cases use different execution controls.
You expected a new run: Check whether Update Last Test Run was selected when using Quick Test.
Results differ in another view: Compare the same Test Run, Test Case version, and execution context. Tests recorded in a folder or Test Plan can have different results.
