Create sub-test plans

A sub-test plan is a smaller, focused test plan nested within a larger parent test plan. They help break down complex testing cycles (like large Regression or Release plans) into manageable components, such as by feature, squad, or sprint.

Sub-test plans inherit the core functionality of standard test plans, they track progress, store metadata, and link to test runs, but their results roll up to the parent test plan for a consolidated view of the entire release.

Create a sub-test plan

You can create a sub-test plan directly from the main test plans list or from within an existing parent test plan.

Perform the following steps, to create a new sub-test plan:

1. Navigate to Test Plans.

   

2. Click Create Sub-Test Plan in the top-right corner.
   Alternatively, open an existing Test Plan, click the (⋮) options menu, and select Create Sub-Test Plan.

3. In the Create Sub Test Plan dialog, fill in the required details.

   

4. Click Create.

The new sub-test plan appears nested under its designated parent test plan in the list view.
