Generating or Re-generate the existing steps of a test case
Testers can use QI to generate or regenerate test steps for existing test cases automatically. QI analyzes key elements such as the Test Case Summary, Description, Story Summary, or custom user-provided inputs to create test steps that align precisely with the scope and objectives of each test case.
This feature is supported within the Test Case Module.
Prerequisites
Super Admin Configurations: The Super admin must enable the Enable users to generate details and steps in an existing test case by either updating the current version or creating a new one feature from AI Configuration under Customization. Refer - Auto-Generate Test Cases and Test Steps using QI
You must have Test Case Modification permissions.
Best Practices
QI uses the Test Case Summary, Test Case Description, and Requirement Description to generate Test Steps.
For high-quality Test Steps, ensure that the descriptions are detailed.
It must explain the key aspects of the functionality.
Generate or Re-generate Existing Test Case Steps
You can use AI to automatically generate, or update test case steps based on test scenarios, expected outcomes, and past executions. AI can create step-by-step instructions, suggest improvements, remove redundancies, and enhance the current steps. This saves time, improves test coverage, and keeps test cases clear and consistent.
To auto-generate or regenerate test cases steps navigate to the Test Case module, click the test case entity.
To generate or regenerate test case steps, select one of the following options:
Generate or Regenerate All Steps
Enhance Current Steps (Enabled only if the test case has existing steps.)
Generate or Regenerate All Steps
You can generate or re-generate all steps in a test case based on the descriptions you provide. This is particularly helpful when creating new test case steps based on requirement description or user-entered description.
To generate or re-generate existing test steps using QI, perform the following steps:
Click the Generate Steps button on the Test Case Detail screen.
The Generate Test Steps with QI pop-up window appears.
Enter the necessary inputs: Test Case Summary and Description, and/or Requirement Summary and Description or User-Entered Description.
Select whether to Update Current Version or Create New Version.
QI initiates the test step generation process.
Review and make necessary edits to the QI generated test steps (if needed),
Click Create New Version or Update Current Version.
Enhance Current Steps
Use this option to enhance the existing test case steps. In this option, QI analyzes the current steps along with your description of the required enhancements and suggests updated the test steps automatically.
The Enhance Current Steps option is available only if the test case has existing steps.
To enhance the current steps, perform the following steps:
Select Enhance Current Steps.
Enter a description (5 to 100 words) with required details for QI to generate enhanced test steps.
Ensure the description provides clear context for accurate results.
Click Create New Version.
Note
To use the Enhance Current Steps option, the test case must contain test steps.
For test cases that has existing steps, you can create a new version with AI-generated test steps.
Inputs for Automatic Test Case Step Generation
Test Case Details: Test Case Summary and Description
Testers can modify the Test Case Summary and Description to regenerate test case steps.
To modify test case summary and description, perform the following steps:
Hover over the Summary or Description fields to edit.
Click the existing text to enable edit mode.
Make the necessary updates.
Click the checkmark to save the changes.
Additional Requirement Details
Testers can regenerate test case steps by choosing one of the following options:
A requirement from the list of currently linked requirements
Any other requirement from the current project or another project
A user-entered description
You can apply both basic and advanced filters to the records. Additionally, the Arrange Columns option enables you to customize the column view according to your preferences.
Note
If the test case or requirement descriptions lack sufficient detail to generate test steps, the system will notify the user to provide more comprehensive information.
Create New Version or Update Current Version
Testers have the option to either create a new version of the test case with the newly generated test steps or update the existing version. The Update Current Test Case Version option is available exclusively for non-executed versions, while the Create a New Test Case Version option is accessible for both non-executed and executed versions.
Clicking on Update Current Version will prompt a caution message to reaffirm the user's choice, asking whether to update the current version or create a new version.
QI Generated Test Steps
The QI-generated test steps include the step description and expected outcome. All fields are editable, allowing you to modify the steps to suit the requirement.
Further, you can insert a new row, add a shareable test case, remove a row, duplicate a row, or move a row using the cog icon (:settings:).
Feedback for QI Generated Steps
To provide feedback on QI, click the Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down button. A pop-up will appear with predefined options, allowing you to choose or submit custom feedback. This helps improve the model's accuracy and performance.
If you want to submit feedback that differs from the predefined options, click Others and enter your customized feedback.
