Understanding and Viewing Test Runs

Find Test Case executions, review their results and evidence, and understand Current Runs, Other Runs, and the Test Runs tab.

A Test Run is the record of one execution of a Test Case. It shows what was tested, where it was tested, who tested it, and the overall result.

Each run contains Test Logs that record the results and actual outcomes of individual test steps.

What a Test Run contains

Information

How it helps

Test Case and version

Identifies the Test Case content used for the execution.

Execution context

Shows the Jira work item, Test Folder, or Test Plan and iteration the run belongs to.

Tester and tested date

Shows who performed the execution and when it was recorded or updated.

Overall result

Summarizes the execution, such as Passed, Failed, or Untested. The available result names depend on your workspace settings.

Environment, Version, and Sprint

Adds execution context when these properties are enabled and selected.

Step results and evidence

Helps you review what happened at each step, including recorded actual results, attachments, and linked work items.

Example: You execute a Login Test Case for a Jira work item in the UAT environment and record a Failed result. After a fix, you create another run and record Passed. The two runs let you review both executions.

View runs for one Test Case

  1. Open the Jira work item you want to review.

  2. Go to Vansah Test Management and select Test Cases.

  3. Hover over the Test Case row, then click the Test Runs icon that appears on the right.

  4. Select Current Runs or Other Runs to find the execution you need.

  5. Click a run’s colored result indicator to open its execution details.

Tab

What it shows

Current Runs

Runs associated with the Test Case in the current context.

Other Runs

Other executions of the same Test Case elsewhere in the workspace that you can access.

Use the same Test Runs icon when reviewing a Test Case from a Test Folder or Test Plan. In a Test Plan, check that you are viewing the intended iteration.

Opening Current Runs and Other Runs for a Test Case from a Jira work item

View the Test Runs tab

  1. Open the Jira work item and go to Vansah Test Management.

  2. Select Test Runs to view executions for that work item.

  3. Use the date filter to choose the period you want to review. Select Show All when you need to include older executions.

  4. Use Search Test Runs to narrow the list, then open the run you want to inspect.

The table shows each execution with details such as its result, Test Case key, Test Run key, tested date, and requirement. The visible columns can vary with your settings.

Viewing the Test Runs tab and filtering executions by tested date

Review or continue an execution

Open an existing run to review its steps, actual results, attachments, and linked work items. If you are continuing the same execution, record your updates in that run.

Start a new run when you are performing another execution, such as retesting after a fix or testing in a different environment. This creates a separate execution record that you can review later.

You need the relevant Jira space access and Vansah execution permissions to create or update runs. Required execution properties depend on your Jira space’s Test Run settings.

If you cannot find a run

  • Check the selected work item, folder, Test Plan, and iteration.

  • Check both Current Runs and Other Runs for the Test Case.

  • Clear the search and widen the tested-date filter, or select Show All.

  • Check that your account can access the Jira space containing the execution.
