TestGenie Capabilities

TestGenie is an AI-powered test management suite for Jira. It covers the complete test lifecycle — from generating test cases via the Atlassian Rovo agent, through test planning, execution tracking, defect linkage, and results export — without leaving Jira.


AI Test Case Generation via Atlassian Rovo

TestGenie uses the Atlassian Rovo agent to generate structured test cases from Jira stories and issues.

  • Open any Jira Story, Bug, or Feature and ask the Rovo agent to generate test cases

  • The agent reads the issue summary, description, and any linked preconditions as context

  • It generates a list of planned test case summaries first — you review before anything is created in Jira

  • Each planned test case is expanded into a full draft with test steps and expected results

  • Confirm creation — test cases, test steps, and requirement links are created as native Jira child issues

Generated test cases appear immediately in the Test Cases screen.


Issue Mapping

The Issue Mapping screen is a one-time configuration that maps TestGenie's test management roles to your existing Jira issue types and link types. It has three sections:

Section

What it configures

Requirement & Test Linkage

Issue types for requirements and test cases; the link type connecting them

Defect Orchestration

Defect issue type; link types connecting defects to executions and test cases

Execution Planning

Test Plan and Execution issue types; all link types for plan-to-case, plan-to-execution, and execution-to-case relationships; Enable Test Execution tracking checkbox

This is a one-time setup per project. Save Changes and all test management features unlock.


Test Cases Screen

The Test Cases screen is the central view for all test cases in the project. It shows:

  • All test cases with key, summary, assignee, status, and priority

  • Test steps and linked test plans for each case inline

  • Filters by assignee, status, and priority

All test cases are standard Jira issues — visible in your backlog and queryable with JQL.


Test Plans

The Test Plans screen is where you organise test cases into executable groups — by sprint, release, or feature area.

From Test Plans you can:

  • Create a test plan with a name, assignee, and priority

  • Link any number of test cases to the plan

  • Assign individual test cases to team members

  • Click Execute Plan to start a test run


Execution Dashboard

The Execution Dashboard is where test runs are tracked in real time.

  • Stat cards show Tests Passed / Tests Failed / Not Executed live, updated as results are marked

  • Each test case row has a TEST RESULT column — mark Passed, Failed, or Not Executed

  • The Active Runs sidebar lets you navigate between multiple execution sets for the same plan

  • The ACTIONS column on a failed test provides the defect link action


Defect Orchestration

When a test is marked Failed, the ACTIONS column allows linking the execution to an existing Jira defect in one step. This creates:

  • A Defect ↔ Execution link

  • A Defect ↔ Test Case link

Both links use your existing Jira link types, configured in Issue Mapping. The full defect trail — from defect to execution to test case to requirement — is available in standard Jira views and JQL.


Export Report

Click Export Report in the Execution Dashboard to generate a shareable report of the current run. The report includes the run summary (Tests Passed / Failed / Not Executed counts) and individual test case results.


Zero Schema Disruption

TestGenie creates no proprietary issue types, no hidden databases, and no external integrations.

  • All test data lives in Jira as standard issues

  • Queryable with JQL like any other Jira issue

  • Visible in existing boards, filters, and dashboards

  • Jira performance is unaffected — no issue bloat
