Generate manual test cases with Jira integration

Generate manual test cases in Jira using the Katalon Manual Test Cases Generator.

Requirements​

  1. Install Katalon - Test Automation for Jira plugin from the Atlassian Marketplace to enable test case generation in Jira.

  2. Enable Jira Integration in TestOps:

  • This activates the Save to Katalon button and enables syncing between Jira and Katalon TestOps.
  • Test cases generated and saved to TestOps are automatically linked to their corresponding Jira requirements.

Katalon Manual Test Cases Generator uses GPT technology to automatically generate structured, detailed test cases from natural language input. This streamlines the process, improves efficiency, and reduces manual effort.

  1. Create a Jira Ticket
  • Enter test case name, description, and relevant details.
  • Make sure the title and description clearly explain the test’s purpose and steps. This helps GPT generate accurate and structured test steps.

  1. Click Katalon manual test cases from the actions menu:

  2. Then click Generate manual test cases. This will process your input and automatically generate the test steps based on the provided instructions (may take 3–5 minutes to process).

  1. Review the generated test steps.
  • If unsatisfied, click Clear, update the Jira ticket, and click the Generate Manual Test Cases button again.
  • Once satisfied, click Save to Katalon to store the test case in TestOps.
