Test Forge

Overview

The TestForge agent in AI Agents for Jira is designed to automatically generate detailed, issue-specific test cases. By leveraging AI, TestForge reduces manual effort in test case creation, allowing teams to focus on execution and quality assurance.

Enablement

In order to add this Agent, Navigate to Project > AI Agents for Jira > Agents Library > Add Test Forge.

Note

You can configure Default Agent from Project > AI Agents for Jira > Agents Page. Alternatively, you can also tune the agent before using it from within the Jira Ticket.

2. Content Selection

   • Select the issue details to be used for test case generation:

     • Summary: Use the issue summary as a high-level test case title.

     • Description: Include details from the issue description to enrich the test case.
