Automatically generate test steps from an issue’s description? Is this a dream for QA's?! Now available on AllAi Jira!
Test automation reduces manual efforts through repeatable and stable processes, increases testing ROI, accelerates testing and feedback, and ultimately reduces business expenses. So, test automation is good, but what about AUTOMATIC test case generation?
That's right! With AllAi Jira you can generate the entire test case, including summary, description and test steps (actions, data and expected results) from the description of an Jira issue.

Test Cases Generation-Without X-ray
If your project isn't utilizing Xray, fret not, as AllAI Jira stands ready to assist you in crafting test cases with ease. Begin by navigating to the Jira issue that will serve as the foundation for your test case. Once there, seek out the AllAI Jira icon—a gateway to productivity—and select the "Generate test cases" feature.
This feature was developed for clients that do not use X-ray. However, you can use this also for your internal OSF project if you don’t have X-ray enabled.
On the Test Case Generation form, a dropdown menu titled "Issue type for the Test case" will present itself. Here, you have the liberty to choose the issue type that best aligns with your test case needs.
With your selection made, proceed to generate the test steps and establish your test case.
AllAI Jira will not only create your test case but also ensure it is seamlessly linked to the original issue, fostering a cohesive relationship between the two.
Now, with the creation process complete, it's time to delve into the test case itself. Open it, and you'll be greeted by the description box, which displays both the test case description and the meticulously generated test steps. This harmonious blend of information provides a clear and comprehensive view of the test case, setting the stage for a successful documentation of your project's features and functionality
