Info

Sub Test Execution works exactly like a Test Execution, but, as it is a sub-task, it is created within the context of a requirement.

At the Agile Board, Sub Test Executions will be displayed as sub-tasks of the requirement.

Sub Test Execution must be added to your Issue Type Scheme. A Test Plan tracks a group of Tests, regardless of the number of Test Executions for a given version. Test Plans may be used to group the Tests in the scope a given sprint and thus, consolidate the test results.

You can have a quick view of all test executions of a requirement, directly from the Jira Agile board, as long as the executions are created as Sub-Test Execution issues.

With this, your team can easily track all the work that needs to be done at the requirement level. 

You may, for example, have different Sub Test Executions to test the requirement in different environments. By displaying the Sub Test Execution at your board, you can see the result for each environment. 

Test Plans as a way to consolidate test results

You may create one or more Test Plans and associate them with a given Sprint.

By including the Test Plan Status custom field, you are able to see right away the overall progress of your Test Plans. 

You may also include the Test Execution Status custom field in your cards; thus, Sub-Test Executions progress may be promptly visualized.

Requirement Status may also be included in the card configuration, allowing you to assess the coverage status of the requirements present on the board.

Tip

Typically, you will have a Test Plan per sprint, like in the example. But if you want you can create several test plans into your sprint.
