Get Started with Vansah for Confluence

Prepare the Vansah apps, Jira connection, and testing gadgets you need before sharing Vansah reports on Confluence pages.

Vansah Test Management for Confluence lets you reuse configured Vansah Jira testing gadgets on Confluence pages. Complete the app, connection, and reporting checks below before adding your first report.

1. Install the required apps

You need Vansah Test Management for Jira and Vansah Test Management for Confluence on the same Atlassian site. Ask an administrator to follow Install Vansah Test Management for Confluence.

Use the current Marketplace listing for the installation option available to your site. The screenshot shows an older listing layout; its button wording may differ.

2. Confirm the Jira connection

In the installed Confluence app’s details, check the Connections tab and confirm that Jira shows Connected. See Connect Vansah for Confluence to Jira if the connection is missing.

The person viewing or configuring reporting must also have the required Jira access. The app connection does not grant access to restricted Jira spaces or dashboards.

3. Prepare a Jira testing gadget

  1. Open the Jira dashboard containing the Vansah gadget you want to share.

  2. Configure its Jira space, requirements, filters, and other report settings.

  3. Save it and confirm that it returns the intended testing data.

  4. Give the gadget a clear name so it is easy to identify when selecting reporting content.

Examples include traceability, Test Summary, Burnup, and Test Execution reports. Choose the report that answers the question on your Confluence page.

4. Plan the Confluence page

  • Use a page you can edit and a report you are authorized to view.

  • Add a short explanation of the report’s scope, such as the release, requirements, or testing period.

  • After adding the Vansah reporting content, check the displayed scope and totals against the Jira source.

  • Verify access with the intended audience rather than assuming that everyone who can open the page can also access its testing data.

Troubleshooting

Problem

What to check

App is unavailable

Correct Confluence site, installed app, and administrator-managed access.

Not connected to Jira warning

Jira connection status, both apps on the same site, and the user’s Jira access.

Dashboard or gadget missing

You can open the source dashboard in Jira and the gadget is configured.

Unexpected data
