A Test Folder groups related Test Cases in your Vansah Test Repository. Use folders and subfolders to organize tests by feature, release, business process, or testing activity.
For example, a Checkout folder can contain Payment and Order confirmation subfolders. Each folder contains links to the Test Cases relevant to that area.
Find your Test Folders
Open your Jira space and select Vansah.
Open Test Cases.
Expand the Test Repository panel if it is collapsed, then expand the folder tree.
Select a folder to view its linked Test Cases.
The screenshot shows an earlier layout. The folder tree and expandable hierarchy serve the same purpose.
Understand folder links
A Test Folder contains links to Test Cases. Linking an existing case does not create another copy of the case.
A Test Case can be reused in more than one folder or linked requirement. Check the version selected for each link.
Selecting or linking a case does not execute it. Start an execution separately when you are ready to record results.
If you need independent copies of the cases as well as a copied folder structure, review the options in Clone a Test Folder.
Use folders for testing
Task | How a folder helps |
Organize tests | Group related cases and create subfolders for more detail. |
Reuse tests | Link existing Test Cases instead of recreating them. |
Execute tests | Run linked cases from the folder and review their results. |
Plan testing | Use a folder as a source for a Test Plan. Review the plan’s case and subfolder selections. |
Review coverage | Use folder reports and traceability gadgets to review the selected testing scope. |
A folder is identified by its location in the repository. When an integration asks for a folder reference, use its folder path and Jira space key as described in that integration’s guide. Folders do not have a customer-facing Test Case or Test Plan key.
