How to generate AI-powered test cases

Follow these steps to generate detailed test cases based on what you want to test..

1. Navigate to the test cases list view in your project and select an existing test case folder or create a new one.
2. Click Generate with AI.
3. On the generation screen, you need to provide input to the AI to generate test cases. You can do this by:
   • Uploading a requirements file (See annotation 1):
     • Upload a requirements document (example, a PDF file) containing detailed requirements specifications.
     • This file is attached to each generated test case.
     • You can provide both a prompt and a requirements document for more comprehensive input.
   • Use Jira issue context (See annotation 2):
     • Click on Add Jira ID.
     • Enter the Host, Project and issue ID to fetch context from the issue description.
       For details on how to link Jira issues, see Link Test Cases with Jira Requirement Issues.
   • Using a prompt (See annotation 3):
     • Enter a detailed description of the test case scenarios you need. The prompt has a character limit of 30,000 characters.
   • Choose the destination folder where accepted AI-generated test cases will be saved (See annotation 4):
     • Click the folder icon next to the folder name at the bottom of the modal window.
     • From the displayed folder structure, select the desired folder.
     • By default, the test cases will be saved in the currently selected folder. You can change the folder at any time before generating test cases.
4. Click Generate Test Cases.
   
   • The AI generates test cases across scenarios, with all test cases selected by default and categorized accordingly.
5. After test case generation completes, the AI presents multiple scenarios, each with its own set of draft test cases.
   • Expand a scenario: Click the arrow (>) next to the test case to scenario to see its individual test cases.
   • Review test cases: Deselect any test case you do not need by unchecking its box.
   • View test case details: Click View besides a generated test case to view test case details and make inline edits.
   • Add individually: Click Add next to a specific case.

   

6. Click Add Test Cases to include the selected test cases in your suite.
7. To discard and start over, click Start Over and choose any method to regenerate test cases.

Now, you have successfully generated and added AI-powered test cases with detailed test case details to your test case repository, tailored to your specific requirements and context.
