Execute a Test Case from a Test Folder

Run a Test Case from a Vansah Test Folder, choose a new or existing Test Run, and record step results or a Quick Test result.

Execute a Test Case from its Test Folder to record results in that folder’s testing context. Start a new Test Run for a new execution, continue an existing run, or use Quick Test when you only need to record a result.

Before you begin

  • Make sure the Test Case is linked to the Test Folder you want to test.

  • Check that you can access the Jira space and have permission to execute Test Cases.

  • The Test Case must not be blocked in that context.

  • Complete any Environment, Version, or Sprint values required by your Jira space’s execution settings.

1. Open the Test Folder

  1. Open the Jira space and select Vansah.

  2. Select the Test Cases tab.

Use the folder tree or Search Test Folder/s to find the folder, then select it. Check the folder name above the grid so you know you are testing in the intended context.

When to use it

New Test Run

You are starting a new test or retest and want a separate execution record.

Edit Test Run

You want to review or continue the run shown for this Test Case. This appears when an existing run is available.

Quick Test

You want to record a selected result directly, without working through each step. Available for manual cases when Quick Test is enabled.

3. Record a manual Test Run

  1. Select New Test Run. If a destination menu appears, choose Run in current window or Run in a new window.

  2. Review the Test Case version, test data, and required execution properties.

  3. Perform the test actions and select the appropriate result for each step.

  4. Enter what happened in Actual Result and add relevant evidence or linked work items.

  5. Check the overall result and any remaining Untested steps before treating the run as complete.

To continue the same execution later, use Edit Test Run. Choose New Test Run when you need to preserve the earlier execution and record a separate retest.

For more about step results and evidence, see Executing Test Cases: Overview.

Record a Quick Test result

  1. Open the Test Case’s Execute menu.

  2. If Update Last Test Run appears, check its selection and the run it refers to. Selected updates that displayed run; cleared creates a new run.

  3. Under Quick Test, select the result that matches your testing outcome.

  4. Wait for the update to finish, then check the folder’s result and Test Runs.

Quick Test records a result immediately. Use a full manual Test Run when individual steps need different outcomes. Result names can differ if your team has renamed them.

Review the saved execution

In the selected Test Folder, open Test Runs to review its executions, or open the Test Case’s existing run. Confirm the result, execution properties, and any step logs or evidence.

The folder’s Report tab summarizes testing in that folder. For the meaning of each result, see Understanding Test Results and Statuses.

If you cannot execute the Test Case

  • Execute is unavailable: Check your execution permission and whether the Test Case is blocked.

  • The Test Case is missing: Check the selected folder and clear grid filters. Confirm that the Test Case is linked to this folder.

  • Required properties are highlighted: Complete the required execution setup and try again.

  • Quick Test is missing: Ask your Jira space administrator to check the Quick Test setting. Automation Test Cases use different execution controls.

  • The result differs elsewhere: Compare the same folder, Test Case version, and Test Run. A run recorded for another work item, folder, or plan can have a different result.
