Start a new Test Run while reviewing a Test Case’s details. Choose the linked Jira work item, Test Folder, or Test Plan that the execution belongs to, then open a full run or record a Quick Test result.
Before you begin
You need access to the Jira space and Test Case, plus Vansah permission to execute Test Cases.
The Test Case must not be blocked for the execution you want to perform.
Choose an existing linked target for the run. If the expected target is missing, check the Test Case’s links before continuing.
Review required Version, Sprint, and Environment settings for the run.
1. Open the execution dialog
Open the required Test Case.
Review its headline, description, script, and test data.
Select the Execute play icon beside the breadcrumb at the top of the Test Case.
2. Choose where to record the execution
Under Select Linked, choose the target type and select the specific item you want to test.
Target | What to select |
Work item | Select the linked Jira work item from the list. Confirm its key and summary. |
Folder | Select a linked Test Folder by its displayed path. |
Test Plan | Select a plan linked to this Test Case. For an Advanced Test Plan, also select the work item or Test Folder requirement within the plan. |
The selected target determines where this execution is recorded. Check it before choosing a result, especially when the Test Case is linked to several work items, folders, or plans.
For execution in a specific Test Plan iteration, start from that plan and iteration so the execution context is clear. The standalone Test Case dialog does not offer a general iteration picker.
3. Review the Test Run properties
After selecting a target, review the available Version, Sprint, and Environment values.
Choose values that match the testing you are about to perform.
Complete every required property. If Vansah highlights a missing field after you try to execute, fill it in and select the execution action again.
The fields offered depend on the Jira space’s Test Run Properties settings. Recheck the values if you change the selected target.
4. Start a full run or record a Quick Test result
Select Execute in the dialog to open the execution choices.
Choice | What happens |
Execute | Creates a new Test Run and opens the execution view for a manual Test Case. |
A Quick Test result | Creates a new Test Run with the result you select, without opening the step-by-step execution view. Available when Quick Test is enabled for a manual Test Case. |
Selecting a Quick Test result saves immediately. This dialog starts a new run; it does not use the Update Last Test Run checkbox offered in some Test Case lists.
For a manual run, perform the test actions, select the step results, enter the observed outcome in Actual Result, and add relevant evidence. Check the overall result and remaining Untested steps before considering the run complete.
Automation Test Cases use their automation execution flow. The manual Quick Test choices are hidden for that script type.
5. Review the saved Test Run
Open Test Runs on the Test Case to find the execution. You can also review it from the selected work item, folder, or plan.
Check the selected target, Test Case version, result, and Test Run properties.
Open the same run when you want to review its logs or evidence. Start another new run when you need a separate retest.
For step-by-step result guidance, see Executing Test Cases: Overview. For execution directly from a list, see Execute a Test Case from a Test Folder or Execute a Test Case from a Jira Work Item.
If you cannot start the run
Execute is missing or disabled: Check the Test Case’s blocked status and your execution permission.
No target is selected: Choose the specific work item, folder, or plan requirement before executing.
The target is missing: Check its link to the Test Case and your access to it.
Required fields are highlighted: Complete the properties and select the execution action again.
The run was created but did not open: Check Test Runs before repeating the action, so you do not create an unintended extra execution.
