Link Related Test Cases

Connect related Test Cases, find the relationship from either case, and remove a link without deleting the cases.

Link Test Cases when you want to record that they are related—for example, several cases that check different parts of checkout. The relationship helps readers navigate between the cases.

Before you begin

Make sure you can access the cases and have permission to edit the case you are linking from. Open the correct Test Case version before changing its links.

Related-case links record an association. To run cases as a planned group, use a Test Plan. To reuse another case’s script inside a test, use Call a Test Case Within Your Test Script.

Link the cases

  1. Open the Test Case and choose the version you want to work with.

  2. Find Linked Test Cases in the case details and select its link/add control.

  3. In the selection dialog, search for the cases or browse their Test Folders. Use the Jira space selector if you need cases from another available space.

  4. Select the case checkboxes and review the selected keys.

  5. Select Link.

  6. Expand Linked Test Cases and confirm that the intended cases appear.

Review the relationship

Select a linked case key to open that case. Vansah creates the relationship in both directions, so you can navigate between the related cases.

Links are recorded with Test Case version information. When checking a relationship, review the selected version and refresh the details if the list does not match your expectation. The link does not copy the case, combine scripts, or record a test result.

Remove a link

  1. Open the Test Case at the relevant version and expand Linked Test Cases.

  2. Select the remove control, such as the × beside the linked case.

  3. Wait for the response, then refresh and check that the relationship was removed.

Remove control beside a linked Test Case

Unlinking removes the association between the cases. Both Test Case records remain available.

If the link is missing or cannot be saved

Check the Jira space, selected version, access permissions, and whether the cases are already linked. If an error appears, refresh both cases before trying again. Do not create a duplicate case just to repeat an existing relationship.
