An Advanced Test Plan brings several requirements into one testing plan. A requirement can be a Jira work item or a Test Folder. Use it when you need to organize execution and review progress across several requirements together.
How the plan is organized
Part | Purpose |
Test Plan | The named plan for the testing activity, with its own readable plan key. |
Requirements | Jira work items and Test Folders included in the plan. |
Test Cases | Cases linked under each requirement for the plan. The same case can appear under more than one requirement. |
Iterations | Separate rounds of execution within the plan. Check the selected iteration before running cases or reviewing results. |
For example, a checkout release can include Jira work items for payment and delivery, plus a Test Folder for regression cases. Keep each requirement visible while reviewing their progress in the same plan.
Find an Advanced Test Plan
Open the Test Plans tab in Vansah.
Find the plan by name or key. The Requirement column shows an Advanced Test Plan icon and requirement count.
Open the plan and select the required iteration and requirement to see its Test Cases.
The screenshot shows an older layout. The folder icon on a Standard Test Plan represents its source Test Folder; a Test Plan Folder in the left tree organizes plans.
Plan and execute the work
Choose the Jira work items and Test Folders for the plan, then review the included Test Cases.
Arrange requirements and Test Cases to suit your testing sequence. Their position organizes the list; it does not automatically execute tests in that order.
Run the cases in the intended requirement and iteration. Record results and evidence as testing progresses.
Review progress and drill into a requirement or run to investigate its results.
An Advanced Test Plan groups execution contexts. Do not assume that one occurrence of a reused Test Case represents testing for every other requirement.
Choose Standard or Advanced
Plan type | Use it when |
Standard Test Plan | You are planning execution for one Jira work item or Test Folder. |
Advanced Test Plan | You want several Jira work items, Test Folders, or a mix of both in one plan. |
