Overview
QA Copilot can generate test cases directly from your Jira requirements. It reads the summary, description, and acceptance criteria from each Jira issue and produces structured test cases with steps and expected results. Related requirements are automatically included as context for better coverage.
Prerequisites
Jira connected as your requirement manager under Settings > Requirements
Requirements synced from your Jira project (happens automatically after connecting)
Step 1: Connect Jira
Go to Settings > Requirements in your project. Select Jira as the requirement manager, authenticate with your Atlassian account, and select your Jira project and issue types (Task, Story, Bug, etc.). Once saved, TestCollab automatically syncs all matching issues.
Step 2: Get the test cases generated from Jira work items by QA Copilot
Navigate to Test Cases and click Create with QA Copilot. Select the From JIRA tab. Search by keyword or issue key. Select up to 5 requirements at a time and click Generate test cases.
Step 3: Review and Accept
After generation (~30-90 seconds), you see the Proposed Test Cases page. Each proposal includes a title, description, priority, and test steps with expected results.
For each proposed test case, you can:
Accept (green checkmark) - adds it to your project
Reject (red X) - discards the proposal
Edit (pencil icon) - modify title, steps, or priority before accepting
Each accepted test case is automatically linked to the specific Jira requirement it was generated from, keeping your traceability matrix accurate.
Context-Aware Generation
QA Copilot uses TF-IDF cosine similarity to find related requirements and includes them as context. For example, selecting a story about license plate recognition will also pull in related stories about gate operations and payment flows, producing integration-aware test cases.
Tips for Better Results
Write clear acceptance criteria in Jira - output quality matches input quality
Include descriptions - stories with just a title produce shallow test cases
Select related stories together for interaction-aware coverage
Always review before accepting - AI output is a strong starting point, not a finished product
Troubleshooting
No search results: Verify requirements are synced under the Requirements section in the sidebar
Generation timeout: Try selecting fewer requirements (1-2 instead of 5)
Sync in progress: Wait for the initial sync to complete after first connecting Jira
