Discover how our latest feature leverages AI to automatically generate test cases directly from JIRA Stories and Epics. Say goodbye to manual test writing and streamline your QA process with smarter, faster, and more consistent test coverage. This new approach streamlines QA workflows, enhances consistency, and speeds up the testing process in agile development.

Manual test case creation is time-consuming, repetitive, and often inconsistent especially in fast-paced agile environments. Our new AI-powered feature changes that by automatically generating test cases directly from JIRA Stories and Epics.

JIRA QA Touch Integration is a bi-directional connection between QA Touch (a test management platform) and JIRA (a popular issue and project tracking tool), designed to streamline collaboration between QA and development teams.

Key Features of the Integration:

Two-Way Sync: Automatically syncs issues, test cases, and execution results between JIRA and QA Touch in real time.

Requirement Mapping: Link JIRA Epics, Stories, or Bugs directly to test cases in QA Touch for complete requirement traceability.

Test Execution Tracking: Test results from QA Touch can update the status of linked JIRA issues, improving visibility.

Real-Time Reporting: Generate integration reports showing the relationship between test cases and JIRA issues.

Create/Link Issues: Raise JIRA bugs directly from a failed test case in QA Touch, with relevant context automatically attached.

Enhanced Traceability (RTM): View and track end-to-end coverage from requirement to test case to execution result.

JIRA Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM)

When test cases and requirements are mapped in QA Touch, the JIRA Requirements Traceability Matrix is generated automatically. This matrix provides a clear view of the relationship between JIRA issues (requirements) and the corresponding test cases in QA Touch.

The JIRA RTM can be exported in .xlsx format for further analysis, sharing, or reporting.

The exported file includes details such as:

• JIRA Issue Key
  
• Summary
  
• Linked Test Cases
  
• Test Run Execution Status (if available)
  

This helps ensure full traceability from requirement to validation, making audits and quality assurance more efficient.
