For detailed documentation, see the Knowledge Base.


1. Managing Project Settings

  1. In Jira, open your project board from the Projects menu.

  2. Click the Vansah menu icon.

  3. Select Vansah Settings (top right corner).

  4. From the menu, choose Project.

Project settings allow you to configure permissions, enable AI features, and align Vansah with your Jira project requirements.


2. Managing Permissions with Groups

What Are Group-Based Permissions?

Vansah lets you assign Jira groups to specific Vansah permissions. This provides fine-grained access control, e.g., only certain teams can Create Test Cases or View Test Cases.

  • If you assign groups to a Vansah permission, that overrides Jira’s default permissions.

  • Only members of the selected groups will have access to that function.

How to Set Permissions

  1. Go to Project Settings → Vansah Settings.

  2. Click the gear icon (⚙️)Project.

  3. Open the Permissions page.

  4. Use the dropdown menus to assign Jira groups to permissions such as:

    • Manage Project Settings

    • View Issue Screen

    • Create/Edit Test Cases

Once applied, only the assigned groups retain those permissions.


3. Test Planning, AI Design, and Execution

Vansah supports the full cycle:

  • Plan test objectives aligned to your Jira project.

  • Design test cases with Vansah Intelligence (AI) to generate requirements-based test scenarios automatically.

  • Execute tests (manual or automated) with tracking directly in Jira Issues.

This ensures traceable, AI-accelerated test coverage.


4. Test Case Management & Automation Integration

  • Create, edit, and manage Test Cases within Jira Issues.

  • Track manual and automated test results side by side.

  • Use Vansah’s automation integrations for streamlined CI/CD pipelines.


5. Test Reporting & Dashboards

Vansah leverages Jira’s reporting to provide real-time test visibility through specialized gadgets:

    • Visual representation of testing progress highlighting the number of test cases executed.

  1. Test Execution Report Gadget

    • Displays a stacked bar chart and data table consisting of the number of test cases executed.

  2. Test Summary Report Gadget

    • Provides a real-time report on the overall testing status with detailed execution coverage, pass rate, and more.

  3. Issue Traceability Matrix (RTM) Gadget

    • Generates a requirements traceability view of test cases from an issue.

    • Generates a test case traceability perspective, emphasizing test cases from a test folder viewpoint.

6. How to Create a Test Case

  • Create a Test Case: Break requirements into steps with expected results.

  • Edit a Test Case: Add descriptions, scripts, or adjust details anytime.

  • Edit During Test Run: Modify test steps on-the-fly and decide whether to reflect changes in-progress. Ideal for exploratory testing.

See full guide: Creating a Test Case.


7. Executing Tests

  1. Open a Test Case.

  2. Follow the steps and verify the expected outcome.

  3. Mark the result as Passed or Failed.

  4. If failed, raise a Defect to log the issue.

This process helps identify and track defects systematically while maintaining quality visibility.


8. Raising Defects During Test Runs

When a test case fails (e.g., login unsuccessful), mark it as Failed and raise a Defect directly against the test run.

This ensures:

  • Defects are linked to executions.

  • Test history remains traceable.

  • Teams can quickly prioritize and resolve issues.
