From Requirement to Test Case in Seconds: AI-Powered Test Design in TestRay

Designing test cases has always been one of the most labor-intensive parts of QA. It’s where strategy meets execution but it’s also where teams lose precious time translating requirements into test steps.

With the new AI Test Case Generation feature in TestRay for Jira Data Center (v12.0+), powered by Storm AI, that translation is instant.

This feature lets QA teams auto-generate detailed, editable test cases from requirements, contextual instructions, or uploaded documents — all without leaving Jira.

The Problem with Manual Test Design

Even when requirements are clearly defined, turning them into high-quality test cases takes time:

• Reading and interpreting scope

• Covering different edge cases

• Structuring test steps logically

• Ensuring traceability

  
  

Now multiply that by dozens of requirements and you start to see the bottleneck. TestRay’s AI test case generation feature reduces that load by automating the first draft. You stay in control but don’t start from zero.

How It Works

You can generate test cases directly from the requirement issue view.

Step	What You Do
1. Open a Requirement	Navigate to any requirement in a TestRay-enabled project.
2. Click “AI – Create Test Case”	Launch the AI interface from the requirement screen.
3. Add Context (Optional)	Provide instructions or notes to improve accuracy.
4. Upload Supporting Documents	Attach specs, screenshots, or flow diagrams (.pdf or .txt supported).
5. Generate	TestRay sends the input to your configured AI model via Storm AI.
6. Review & Edit	AI returns test cases with structured fields (summary, steps, priority, assignee). You can edit or remove any before creating them.

Key Functionalities

• Context-Aware Generation: The more you feed it — requirement text, docs, notes — the better your test case outputs.

• Editable Results: Everything is editable before being added to Jira. Make changes inline, update fields, or remove irrelevant items.

• Bulk Actions: Link cases to test suites or other requirements. Delete or create multiple in one go.

• In-Jira Experience: The entire workflow lives inside TestRay. No new tools. No context-switching.

Real-World Example

Let’s say your requirement is: “The system should send a confirmation email after a user completes a booking.”

Instead of starting from scratch, the AI might generate:

Test Case Summary	Test Steps
Confirmation email is sent post-booking	1. Complete a booking as a logged-in user 2. Check email inbox 3. Verify email content and format
No email if booking fails	1. Attempt booking with invalid payment 2. Confirm no email is received

You review, tweak, and create. That’s it.
