Vansah can update a Jira custom field with the overall test result for a work item. Use that field to see testing progress in Jira searches, boards, and dashboards without opening each Test Case.
Before you begin
A Jira administrator must enable and configure the Vansah Test Result Status field. Your Jira space and field context must allow the field to appear. See Jira Workflow Validators for configuration guidance.
The Test Result Status field is separate from Jira workflow status. Updating a test result does not automatically move a work item to Done. A workflow validator must be configured separately if you want testing to control a transition.
Understand the result
Result | How to read it |
No-Test-Cases | No cases were found in the testing scope used for the calculation. |
Untested | Cases are present, but there is no completed or in-progress outcome that takes precedence. |
Passed / Failed / N/A | An overall outcome for completed testing. A failure takes precedence over a pass. |
Passed-In-Progress / Failed-In-Progress / N/A-In-Progress | Testing is still incomplete or includes in-progress outcomes. |
Blocked | Blocked testing is present and takes precedence over incomplete outcomes. |
Names can be customized. If child work item or Work View settings are enabled, the field’s scope can include those results. Review the scope and underlying cases before comparing it with a single run or plan.
Show the field on a Jira board
Ask the board administrator to include the configured Test Result Status field in the board’s card layout where supported.
Open the board and compare testing results with the work items’ workflow columns.
Open cases or runs when you need to investigate a failure, blocked test, or incomplete result.
Find work items by testing result
Open Jira work item search and add the configured Test Result Status field as a column.
Filter using the field and the result value you need. In JQL, select the actual field from autocomplete and use the exact configured option name.
Save the search as a Jira filter if you need to reuse it.
For example, search for Failed to investigate completed failures, or Failed-In-Progress to find failures while testing continues. These are different options; selecting one does not automatically select the other.
Use a saved filter on a dashboard
Add a Jira Filter Results gadget, choose your saved filter, and include the Test Result Status field among its displayed columns. Other gadgets depend on the Jira fields and statistics they support.
A current result field shows the latest saved summary. It does not provide a historical trend by itself. Use a suitable Vansah reporting gadget when you need detailed testing metrics.
If the field looks missing or out of date
Check that the feature, selected field, and relevant Jira field context are configured.
Check the field’s exact name and values rather than copying a name from a screenshot.
Compare the selected scope, child work item settings, and underlying test results.
Refresh Jira. If the mismatch remains, contact Vansah with the work item key and the expected and displayed results.
A saved filter identifies work; it does not enforce a release gate. Use a configured workflow validator for transition restrictions.
