Vansah’s Test Timer Logging helps teams automatically capture and understand the actual effort spent executing tests.
How automatic time tracking works
When a user begins executing a Test Case, Vansah automatically starts tracking the elapsed execution time.
The timer continues while testing is in progress and records the time against the Test Run when execution reaches 100% completion.
There is no need for testers to separately start a timer or manually calculate how long execution took.
View Test Run time logs
Each Test Run includes a Work log that provides a traceable history of testing effort.
The Work log shows:
Total logged time for the Test Run
Who performed the testing
How much time was recorded
When the testing occurred
Automatically captured entries identified as AUTO
Time recorded across Test Run iterations
This provides teams with greater visibility into the actual effort required to execute and complete testing.
Automatic vs manual time entries
Automatic entries are created by Vansah based on actual Test Case execution activity. These entries are identified as AUTO in the Work log.
Manual entries can also be added using Log time. This allows testers to capture additional effort that may not be represented by execution time alone, such as investigation, verification, retesting, or other testing activities.
Together, automatic and manual entries provide a more complete picture of the actual testing effort associated with a Test Run.
Adding time manually
To record additional testing effort:
Open the required Test Run.
Navigate to Activity → Work log.
Select + Log time.
Enter the additional time spent and save the entry.
The additional time is included in the Test Run's Actual logged time alongside automatically captured execution time.
