Get Started with Vansah in Jira

Create your first Test Case, link it to a Jira work item, record a Test Run, and review your team’s testing progress.

Use this guide to complete your first testing workflow in Vansah: create a Test Case, connect it to a requirement, run the test, and review the result.

Before you begin

  • Ask your Jira administrator to install Vansah if it is not available on your site.

  • Open the Jira space you want to work in and select Vansah from its navigation.

  • Make sure your account has access to the Jira space and the Vansah actions you need.

Administrators can review Vansah permissions with Jira groups. Assigning a Vansah group does not grant access to a Jira space that the user cannot otherwise access.

1. Create a Test Case

  1. Open the Test Case repository or a Test Folder in Vansah.

  2. Choose the create Test Case action. Select the Jira space and Test Case type, then enter a clear headline.

  3. Create the case and open it to add its description, preconditions, and Test Script.

  4. For a manual test, write the steps and expected results so another tester can follow them.

See Create a Test Case for the complete steps. Test Cases are Vansah records with readable keys, such as DEMO-C46; you do not need to create a Jira work item type for them.

2. Link the case to its requirement

Open the Jira work item that describes what you are testing. In its Vansah panel, create a case or link an existing Test Case. Reusing an existing case keeps the requirement connected to that case rather than creating an unnecessary duplicate.

Use Test Folders to organize reusable cases. When you need a planned testing cycle and iterations, use a Test Plan.

3. Run the test and record the outcome

  1. Open the linked Test Case in the work item, folder, or Test Plan where the test should be recorded.

  2. Start a new Test Run and complete any required run details.

  3. Follow the Test Script, record results, and add comments or evidence where useful.

  4. If you find a problem, create or link a Jira work item from the Test Run so the issue is connected to the execution.

  5. Review the saved run and its overall result before moving to the next case.

See Executing Test Cases: Overview for run options. Quick Test can record a result without working through the full execution screen when it is enabled; review whether you are creating a new run or updating the last run.

4. Review testing progress

Add a Vansah gadget to a Jira dashboard and choose the Jira space, requirements or plans, and filters that match your testing scope.

Continue with your team’s workflow

After the first manual test, explore AI-assisted Test Case generation from a Jira work item or connect an automation tool using the Vansah API token and API Connect URL guides. Choose the next step that fits your team rather than configuring every feature at once.
