Clear, Actionable Testing Insights Right Where Epics Live
Epics are where strategy meets execution. They represent the full scope of a feature, initiative, or release rolling up dozens (sometimes hundreds) of stories, bugs, and linked work items underneath. But when it comes to testing, Epics have always posed a challenge.
The standard test management panel works well for individual stories and bugs but at the Epic level, teams need a big-picture testing view, not another list of links.
That’s exactly why we built Epic Traceability View directly for Jira Epic Work items.
Why Epic-Level Testing Needed a Rethink
Until now, viewing testing progress for an Epic meant jumping between child issues, reports, or dashboards to piece together the story manually. Important questions were harder to answer than they should be:
- How much of this Epic is actually tested?
- Are there gaps hiding in linked stories?
- Which areas are blocked, failing, or still untouched?
Epic Traceability View replaces that fragmented experience with a purpose-built, roll-up testing summary designed specifically for Epics.
What Is Epic Traceability View?
Epic Traceability View is a new interactive testing experience available directly on Epic work items in Jira.
Instead of showing the standard Vansah Test Management panel, Epics now display a dedicated traceability summary that reflects the full testing scope of the Epic across all child and linked work items.
At a glance, teams can understand where testing stands, and with a click, dive deeper into the details.
What You Can Do with Epic Traceability View
Instantly See Rolled-Up Test Progress
View consolidated test coverage, execution status, and progress for the entire Epic without opening individual stories one by one.
Drill Into the Details
Need to investigate further? Drill down into child and linked work items to inspect detailed test results, execution history, and coverage gaps.
Control Visibility at the Project Level
Epic Traceability View respects project-level settings, giving teams full control over whether Epics use this enhanced traceability experience.
Familiar Insights, Consistent Experience
The view uses the same trusted traceability insights already available in Vansah reports and gadgets, ensuring consistency across dashboards, reports, and Jira work items.
Built for How Teams Actually Work in Jira
This isn’t just a UI enhancement. It’s a shift toward Epic-first quality visibility, designed around how modern teams plan, track, and release work in Jira.
If Epics define the scope of your delivery, Epic Traceability View ensures your testing keeps pace.
