Use the Test Plan Timeline to compare planned testing dates, identify overlapping work, and review the iterations within each Test Plan.
The Timeline view is available with Vansah Advanced. You can switch between Timeline and List while working with the same plans.
Open the Timeline
Open Vansah in the Jira space.
Select Test Plans on the Vansah Board.
Select the Test Plan Folder you want to review and adjust any search or filters.
Click Timeline above the plan list.
Click List to return to the table view. Switching views does not change the plans or their execution results.
Read the schedule
Timeline item | What it shows |
Test Plan row | The plan key, headline, execution coverage, and assignee. |
Plan bar | The plan’s scheduled date range. Compare bars to identify overlapping testing windows. |
Expanded iteration rows | The separate rounds of testing within that plan, with their own dates and result summaries. |
Date headings and today marker | Help you locate testing on the calendar. Scroll horizontally to review other dates. |
Hover over a scheduled bar to see its dates and result information. The timeline reflects the selected folder, search, and filters, so check those when you need to find a particular plan.
View iterations and execution details
Click the arrow beside a Test Plan to Show iterations.
Select an iteration to open its details below the timeline.
Review the iteration’s Details, Scope, or Test Runs, as available for the plan.
Use Open full plan when you want to work in the full Test Plan screen.
The details include the selected iteration’s schedule and execution setup. Check the iteration number before reviewing results or making changes.
You can resize the details area or close it to give the schedule more room.
Change scheduled dates
Date changes update the planned schedule. They do not execute Test Cases. Your normal Vansah permissions still apply when you edit a plan or iteration.
Action | How to do it |
Reschedule a bar | Drag a scheduled plan or iteration bar to adjust its date range. Changes are saved after you release the bar. |
Adjust a start or end date | Drag the left or right edge of the scheduled bar. |
Enter exact iteration dates | Click the pencil beside the iteration’s dates, select the planned start and end dates, then click Save. |
The planned end date must be on or after the planned start date.
Check iteration dates after changing a plan’s range. A plan-level date change can also adjust iteration dates to fit the updated range. To reschedule only one round of testing, edit that iteration directly.
Create another iteration
Expand the plan and select Create iteration when you need another round of testing. Review the new iteration’s dates and execution properties before using it.
For the role of iterations in testing, see Understanding Standard Test Plans.
If a plan or date bar is missing
Check the selected Test Plan Folder, search text, filters, and current page.
Scroll across the timeline to find the scheduled period.
If the row shows No planned dates, expand its iterations and set the required schedule dates.
If iterations could not be loaded, use Retry when shown or refresh the view.
If the Timeline option is unavailable, check that the Jira space has access to Vansah Advanced and that you are viewing the Test Plans page on the Vansah Board.
