Depending on your Jira space configuration, you may want to enable certain default Jira features within your Vansah space. These settings provide additional flexibility when managing Test Cases, Test Executions, and integrations with Jira’s native features.
By default, most settings are automatically enabled if your Jira spaces supports them. You can adjust these preferences under Miscellaneous Settings in your Vansah space.
Steps to accessing Miscellaneous settings
Open Vansah from your Jira Space.
Click the Settings icon (gear ⚙️) in the top-right corner.
Under Vansah Settings, select Space.
From the left-hand menu, select Miscellaneous.
Available settings:
1. Components
Purpose: Link Test Cases to existing Jira space components.
Impact: Enables filtering by components across Vansah Testing Board, Jira Reports, and Gadgets.
Use Case: Useful when you want Test Cases grouped by system modules or functional areas already defined in Jira.
2. Labels
Purpose: Link Test Cases to existing Jira labels.
Impact: Adds labels as a filter option in Vansah Testing Board, Jira Reports, and Gadgets.
Use Case: Helps track themes or cross-cutting concerns (e.g., "performance," "UI," or "regression")
3. Quick Test
Default: Enabled for new spaces.
Purpose: Execute Test Cases quickly against a Jira Work Item using a simple result: Passed, Failed, N/A, Untested.
Impact: Ideal for Agile teams running lightweight test cycles.
Note: You can still run full test executions with detailed steps by selecting Execute
4. Link Test Cases
Purpose: Automatically link a Test Case to its Test Run Work Item.
Impact: Saves time by ensuring all executed Test Cases are consistently associated with their runs.
Purpose: Defines how Vansah reports the latest result of a Test Case.
Options:
Enabled (default): The latest result is tied to the context of execution (requirement, Test Folder, or Test Plan).
Disabled: The latest result is taken globally, regardless of where it was last executed.
Use Case: Choose based on whether you want context-specific results (e.g., UAT vs SIT) or a single global status.
Control how Vansah notifies users about Test Case assignments and results.
Assigning Test Cases (default enabled): Sends an email to the Assignee when they are assigned a Test Case from a Jira Work Item
7. Jira Work Item Comment Notification Options
Posts Test Case results as comments in the Jira Work Items comment Activity stream:
When a Test Case Passes (disabled by default).
When a Test Case Fails (enabled by default).
When Linking an Work Item to a Test Step: Adds a comment to the linked Jira Work Item.
When a user Adds, Links, or Unlinks a Test Case: Notifies you with clickable links to view affected Test Cases.
