[KShare] Effortlessly Generate Jira Test Cases with Katalon Manual Test Case Generator

Hi Community members, :wave:

The Katalon Product Support team hopes you’ve all had a wonderful New Year celebration with your families and loved ones!

We’re starting 2025 off with an AI-focused article.

Have you ever struggled with the tedious task of writing detailed test cases manually and wished for an easier way to streamline the process?

:point_right: If yes, then the Katalon Manual Test Cases Generator can help here.

The Katalon Manual Test Cases Generator leverages the power of GPT (Generative pre-trained transformer) technology to automate the creation and development of well-structured, detailed, and precise test cases based on natural language inputs. This streamlines the test case creation process, enhances efficiency, and reduces the manual effort required.

To leverage this for your Jira projects, please adhere to the following steps:

:information_source: Prerequisites:

  1. In your Jira project, please install this plugin from the Atlassian Marketplace website: Katalon - Test Automation for Jira. This plugin will allow you to generate Katalon test cases in your Jira ticket.

  2. Enable - TestOps Jira integration in Jira software. When you configure your Katalon project in Jira, the Save to Katalon button is enabled, which allows you to save your generated test cases in Jira to your Katalon TestOps project.

  3. Optional: Enable TestOps - Jira integration in Katalon TestOps. When you enable this option, then the generated test cases saved to Katalon TestOps are automatically linked back to their Jira requirements.

Without further ado, let’s get started!
