Use Test Environments to record where a Test Run takes place, such as SYS, UAT, or Staging. Environments are managed separately for each Jira space. Vansah creates SYS and UAT when it first sets up a space; your team can adjust the list to match its testing workflow.
Before you begin
You need Jira administrator or Jira space administrator permission to create or rename environments and change Test Run Properties. Removing an environment requires the Jira space administration or work item deletion permission used by Vansah.
Choose a clear, unique name of 1–255 characters. Vansah allows up to 50 active environments in a Jira space.
Open Test Environments
Open Vansah in the Jira space you want to configure.
Open the Vansah settings menu and select Settings and Compliance.
In Settings and Compliance, select Space Settings in the left menu.
Select Test Environments.
Create an environment
Select the + button above the environment list.
Enter a name, such as Staging.
Select Create. Check the success message and confirm that the environment appears in the list.
Rename or remove an environment
Action | Steps |
Rename | Open the environment’s More options (…) menu and select Edit. Change its name and select Update. |
Remove | Open More options (…) and select Delete. Check the environment name in the confirmation, then select Delete. Select No, keep it to cancel. |
If you only want to stop collecting environment values for Test Runs, use the setting below instead of deleting environments.
Enable environments or make them required
In the same settings area, select Test Run Properties.
Select Enable Environments to make the environment field available. Clear it to turn off environment selection.
While environments are enabled, select Mandatory for Test Run if a Test Run must have an environment. Leave it clear if the field should be optional.
Each checkbox change saves immediately. Wait for the success message before leaving the page.
See Configure Test Run Properties for more about required fields and choosing values in Test Run Setup.
If a change does not work
The name already exists: choose a different name or edit the existing environment.
Create or Update is unavailable: enter a nonempty name within the 255-character limit.
The environment limit is reached: review the existing list before trying to add another environment.
A save or permission error appears: ask a Jira space administrator to check your access. Refresh the settings page to confirm the saved value before trying again.
