Execute Test Cases from a Test Plan to record results for a specific round of testing, such as UAT or regression. Select the intended iteration before you start so the results are recorded in the correct testing cycle.
Before you begin
Make sure you can access the Jira space, Test Plan, and linked Test Cases.
You need the relevant Vansah permission to execute Test Cases.
Confirm the Test Case version linked to the plan is the one you intend to test.
Check that the Test Case is not blocked and remains linked to the plan’s underlying work item or Test Folder.
Prepare any required test data and execution properties.
1. Select the plan and iteration
Open Test Plans on the Vansah Board and select your plan.
Select the Iteration you want to execute.
Open Test Plan Execution.
For an Advanced Test Plan, select the relevant Jira work item or Test Folder requirement.
Review Run Setup and set the Environment, Version, or Sprint values required for this testing round.
Use New Iteration when you need a separate round of testing. Choose an existing iteration when you are continuing its work.
2. Execute one Test Case
Find the Test Case in the plan’s list.
Hover over its row and click Execute (play icon).
Select New Test Run to start a separate execution. If Quick Test is enabled, you can choose a result directly when you only need to record an overall outcome.
Perform the test actions and record each step’s result.
Enter the observed outcome in Actual Result and add relevant execution evidence or linked work items.
Review the overall result and any remaining steps.
To continue or review a run already recorded for this plan, open it from the Test Case’s Test Runs control. Check that its iteration and requirement match your intended context.
Run remaining tests with Start
Use the plan’s Start control when you want to work through remaining Test Cases. Review the selection in its run menu:
Selection | Tests included |
Current user (signed in) | Remaining tests assigned to you. |
Selected testers | Remaining tests assigned to the users you select. |
Unassigned | Remaining tests without an assignee. |
All Tests | All remaining assigned and unassigned tests in the selected scope. |
Click Start, work through the execution, and use the available navigation or Continue control to move through the selected tests. Use Stop when you need to leave the active execution.
If Vansah shows No outstanding Test Cases for this Iteration, check the selected scope and existing results. Create a new iteration when your intention is to perform a new testing round.
Review the plan’s results
Review the selected iteration’s results and individual Test Runs. A run can show an in-progress result while steps remain Untested. Use its step logs to investigate failures and review the actual results and evidence.
For recorded changes, open Details, then Activity → History. See Viewing Test Plan History.
If Execute or Start is unavailable
Check | What to do |
Permissions | Ask your space administrator to confirm your Vansah execution permissions. |
Blocked Test Case | Resolve the block in the relevant requirement or plan context. |
Removed requirement link | Restore the Test Case’s link to the work item or folder before executing it in the plan. |
Required execution properties | Complete the highlighted values in Run Setup. |
No remaining tests in the chosen scope | Check assignments and the selected iteration, or choose a scope that contains outstanding tests. |
