Use the Vansah - Test Plan Traceability Summary gadget to compare testing progress across selected Test Plans. Start with the combined summary, then open the details to see which plans have completed, in-progress, untested, or blocked tests.
Before you begin
Use a Jira dashboard you can edit.
Make sure you can access the Jira spaces and Test Plans you want to report on.
Link the Test Cases to the Test Plans before reporting on them. Tests can appear as planned before they have been executed.
1. Add the gadget
Open your Jira dashboard and select Edit.
Select Add gadget and search for Test Plan Traceability Summary.
Add the Vansah gadget and open its configuration. To change an existing gadget, select Configure from its menu.
2. Choose the Test Plans
Choose one or more Jira spaces in the space selector.
Under Test Plan(s) selection, select the three-dot button to browse your Test Plans.
Select the plans to include. Use the picker’s space selector to browse another selected Jira space if needed.
Select Apply.
Optionally use More to add filters, such as labels, case types, releases, or environments. Property filters depend on the Jira space settings.
Select Save.
To revise the saved plan selection, choose Modify Selected Test Plans in configuration. The dashboard plan picker uses the latest iteration of each selected plan when the report loads.
Read the summary
Summary field | Meaning |
Test Plan | Number of selected plans included in the report. |
Coverage | Completed Test Cases as a percentage of all planned Test Cases, with the completed count in parentheses. |
Not Covered | Outstanding Test Cases: planned minus completed and blocked. This includes in-progress tests. Its percentage excludes blocked tests from the total. |
In Progress | Number of Test Cases with an execution in progress. These tests are also included in Not Covered. |
Work items/bugs | Distinct Jira work items linked to test logs in the plan iterations. Select the count to open the work items. |
Coverage measures execution progress. It does not measure whether every requirement has a Test Case. A completed test may be Passed, Failed, or N/A.
For example, with 10 planned tests, 6 completed, 2 in progress, 1 untested, and 1 blocked, Coverage is 60% (6). Not Covered is 33.3% (3): the two in-progress tests plus the untested test, divided by the nine tests that are not blocked.
The colored bar shows result groups as portions of the planned total. Hover over a segment to see its result and count.
Explore an individual plan
Expand Detail to compare plans. Each row shows its Test Case count, execution coverage, in-progress count, passed and failed results, untested count, and linked work items.
Hover over an icon in a narrow column header to read its label. Select linked counts to open the matching Test Cases.
Use the Info control when available for additional N/A, blocked, and in-progress result details.
Use Search Test Plan to find a plan by name or key, such as DEMO-P13. Clear the search to restore the full detail list.
The detail search changes the displayed plan rows; it does not recalculate the combined summary above. Passed and failed percentages use completed tests excluding N/A, so they measure something different from the colored bar’s share of all planned tests.
Export the report
Open the Options menu (three dots) beside the detail search, select Export, and choose XLSX or HTML.
If counts look unexpected
Confirm that the saved configuration contains the right spaces and Test Plans.
Check the latest plan iteration and any saved filters before comparing this gadget with another view.
Remember that one Test Case can contribute to more than one plan’s totals when it is included in multiple selected plans.
Use the detailed result counts to investigate progress. A linked work item count is not a count of failed Test Cases.
To see the work items or Test Folders covered within each plan, use the Test Plan Traceability Matrix gadget.
