Edit a Test Case Headline

Update a Test Case headline from the list and write clear summaries that make cases easier to find and review.

A Test Case headline is the short summary shown beside its key. You can edit it directly in the Test Case list without opening the full case.

Edit from the Test Case list

  1. Open Vansah and locate the Test Case in the list. Check its key and version so you update the intended case.

  2. Point to the headline and select the pencil icon labeled Edit Headline. Selecting the headline itself opens the case.

  3. Enter the updated headline. Keep it between 1 and 800 characters.

  4. Select the checkmark to save. Use the cancel control if you want to keep the existing headline.

  5. Wait for the update to finish and confirm the new headline appears in the list.

These screenshots show the inline edit and save controls in an earlier layout.

Use your team’s naming conventions consistently. You do not need to repeat the Test Case key in the headline.

If you cannot save the change

  • Check that the headline is not blank and does not exceed 800 characters.

  • Your account needs permission to edit Test Cases. Ask your Vansah administrator if the pencil icon is unavailable.

  • Review the selected version when editing an open Test Case. A headline edit does not rename the case key.
