Link Jira components to Vansah Test Cases to group tests by a system module, feature, or functional area. For example, a checkout test might use the Payments component.
Before you begin
Use a Jira space with Jira components available. Jira components are scoped to their company-managed space.
Make sure the components already exist in the same Jira space as the Test Case. Ask a Jira space administrator to create or maintain them.
You need permission to edit Test Cases to save component links. A Jira administrator or Jira space administrator can enable the Components setting in Vansah.
For Jira component availability and setup, see Atlassian’s Configure Jira components.
1. Enable Components in Vansah
Open the Jira space and select Vansah.
Select the Settings gear, then Settings and Compliance.
Select Space Settings in the left menu.
Open Miscellaneous.
Select Enable Components for Vansah Test Cases and wait for the save confirmation.
Return to the Test Case and refresh or reopen it.
The screenshot shows the Components control in an earlier settings layout. Each settings change saves immediately.
Clearing this setting hides the component controls in Vansah; it does not delete the Jira components.
2. Link components to a Test Case
Open the Test Case and select its Main tab.
Find Components in the details panel.
Search for or select a component from the available Jira space components. Repeat to add another component if needed.
Select Save to keep the Test Case changes, or Cancel to discard them.
Reopen the Test Case and confirm that the selected components appear.
The Components field appears when Components is enabled and Jira returns available components for the space. Enabling the setting alone does not create any component choices.
Remove a component from a Test Case
Open the Test Case’s Main tab.
Use the remove control on the component’s tag.
Select Save and check the updated list.
This removes the association from the Test Case version you are editing. The Jira component remains available to other Test Cases and Jira work items.
Filter testing by component
Use the Components filter where it is offered in the Vansah Test Case list, reports, or gadget configuration. Select the component you want to review and apply the view’s filters.
The available filters depend on the view and its settings. Keep the Jira space and Test Case version consistent when comparing results.
