Use a mind map to follow testing relationships without moving back and forth between several lists. Start from a Test Case or shared step collection, expand the relevant branches, and open the underlying records when you need more detail.
Open a Test Case mind map
Open the Test Case and select the version you want to review.
Open the more options menu (three dots) in its header.
Select Mind Map. This Test Case action is available with Vansah Advanced.
Check the case key and version at the center of the map.
If the action is unavailable, check your edition and access with your Vansah administrator. Opening the map does not generate new Test Cases.
Explore the relevant branches
Branch | Use it to review |
Version and creation details | The case and version you started from. |
Linked requirement folders / work items | Where the case is linked for testing. |
Linked test cases | Related cases and their relationships. |
Test script | The saved test instructions. |
Test plans / Test runs | Planning links and recorded executions. |
Comments / History and versions | Discussion and recorded changes. |
Labels and attributes / Attachments | Classification, case properties, and available files. |
Expand a branch or select its Details action.
Use Load more when additional records are available. A collapsed branch or first page is not the complete list.
Select a record link to open it, or use Explore in mind map where offered for another case.
Use Back to previous case to return after following a case relationship.
Check scope labels while exploring. The Test runs branch can include runs across recorded case versions, and the Test plans branch shows current linked plans across case versions. Following a related-case link may open its current version.
Make the map easier to read
Use the Zoom control to resize the view. In More mind map options, use Fit to view, Expand all, Collapse branches, or Reset spacing as needed. Expand fullscreen gives the map more room.
Select a relationship to highlight its path. Expanding, collapsing, zooming, or changing spacing changes the display; it does not add or remove testing relationships.
Use Refresh mind map on the case’s center card to reload after changes.
Explore a Step Library collection
Open Step Library and select the collection.
Open its more options menu and select Mindmap.
Select a collection step and use the offered explore controls to follow linked spaces, cases, and execution results.
Use Load more for additional records and Refresh traceability to reload the collection view.
Collection results are attached to the collection’s steps and the accessible related records. A collection’s latest result is not a release-wide result for every case that uses it.
For a tabular impact review before editing shared instructions, see review where shared steps are used.
If a branch is empty or fails to load
Check the case version, Jira space, and relationship you are reviewing.
Use Retry if a request fails. Refresh the map if records changed while it was open.
Open the original record to confirm its current details and your access.
Treat an unavailable or empty branch as a reason to investigate, rather than proof that no testing exists.
For editing case links and executions, open the corresponding Vansah screen. See link related Test Cases and view Test Runs.
