The number beside a Test Folder shows how many Test Cases are linked to it. Use these counts to understand the folder structure before opening a folder.
Read the count
Display | Meaning |
A single number, such as 7 | Test Cases linked directly to this folder, when there is no larger subfolder total to show. |
Two numbers, such as 2/9 | 2 Test Cases are linked directly to the folder; 9 is the sum for the folder and its subfolders. |
0 | No Test Cases are linked directly to the folder. Its subfolders can still contain cases. |
Hover over the count for its explanation. Large totals may be shortened in the tree.
This screenshot shows an older layout with individual folder counts. Current views can show direct and combined totals.
Why counts can differ
A case can be linked to several folders. Adding folder totals together does not give a unique count of Test Cases across the Jira space.
The case list can have search terms, filters, or a selected context that narrow its rows. A folder count is not the number of rows on the current page.
Version management can link several versions; direct tree counts use active case links rather than counting every linked version.
For example, if the same case is linked to both a parent and a child folder, it contributes to both folder counts and can appear twice in the combined total.
Check an unexpected count
Open the folder and clear any search or filters that are hiding cases.
Expand its subfolders and check whether you are comparing direct or combined counts.
Refresh the Vansah view after linking, unlinking, or moving cases.
If a mismatch remains, record the Jira space, folder path, displayed count, and expected cases before contacting Vansah.
