Track and Report Test Execution

Find the right Vansah view for execution dates, testing progress, Test Plan results, and Jira dashboard reporting.

Use a Test Execution report to review testing activity for a date range. Use summary and traceability reports to check completion and results for work items, Test Folders, or Test Plans. The Overview tab gives a quick snapshot, but its date selector is based on Test Case creation date.

What you want to know

What testing activity was recorded during a period?

The Test Execution report, grouped by Date.

Who is assigned testing work?

1. Report on execution dates

  1. Open your Jira space and select Vansah → Reports.

  2. Choose Test Execution.

  3. Select the reporting scope, such as the work items, Test Folders, or Test Plans you want to review.

  4. Set Select Period to the required range. For a custom range, enter the start and end dates.

  5. Set Select Group By to Date to review activity by day. Apply any relevant filters, such as release or environment.

  6. Select Preview and review the result groups and detailed data.

Vansah Reports tab with Test Execution, summary, burnup, traceability, and assignment report choices

For example, to review testing recorded this week for a regression Test Folder, select that folder, choose the week’s date range, and group by Date.

Decide whether you need distinct Test Cases or execution activity. The report offers Report by distinct Test Cases. Keep that choice consistent when comparing reports; one Test Case can have repeated testing activity.

For the full configuration and result details, see the Test Execution report guide.

2. Use Overview for a quick snapshot

  1. Open Vansah → Overview in your Jira space.

  2. Review the result summary and the Test Cases, Test Runs, and Work items/bugs cards.

  3. Follow a Test Case, Test Run, or work item link to investigate its details. Use the activity feed to review recent changes.

Check what the date selector means. Its tooltip is Filter by Test Case created date. The Test Runs card is also limited to runs updated in the period for cases created in that period. Select Show All when you need to include older Test Cases.

Overview date selector with Today, recent-day ranges, and Show All

A Test Case created months ago and executed today can be excluded by Today in Overview. Use the date-grouped Test Execution report when your question is about execution dates. The activity feed is a separate list of recent changes.

3. Check completion in the right context

Open a summary or traceability report for the work items, folders, or plans you need. Select the same scope and filters each time you compare results.

  • For one Jira work item, use its Vansah Report tab.

  • For selected Test Plans, use Test Plan Traceability Summary for totals and rates, or Test Plan Traceability Matrix for the included work items or folders.

  • For execution progress over time, use Burnup Execution.

Execution coverage is not a pass rate. A completed test can have a Passed, Failed, or N/A result. Also distinguish a count of unique Test Cases from a count of assignments or runs.

4. Share progress on a Jira dashboard

  1. Open a Jira dashboard you can edit and select Edit → Add gadget.

  2. Search for the Vansah report you need and add it.

  3. Configure its Jira space, work items, folders, or plans and relevant filters, then save.

  4. Review or refresh the gadget when preparing an update for your team.

See Set up Vansah testing gadgets for dashboard setup. Keep the same scope, period, and counting options when comparing a dashboard with another report.

If results do not match your expectations

  • Confirm whether the selected date range refers to case creation, test execution, or a plan iteration.

  • Check the selected Jira space, work items, folders, plans, and report filters.

  • Distinguish completed results from results in progress, blocked tests, and untested tests.

  • Check whether the report counts distinct Test Cases, assignments, or Test Runs. These totals answer different questions.

  • Open the linked tests or runs before concluding that an execution or result is missing.
