AI Test Case Generator

Introduction

The Test Case Generator Widget for DOORS Next is an AI-powered tool that automatically generates test cases from your requirements and sends them directly to IBM Engineering Test Management (ETM). This widget uses OpenAI to analyze requirement text and produce structured test cases with editable steps, then creates complete test artifacts in your QM project with automatic bidirectional traceability.

Problem Statement

Challenge in Manual Test Case Creation

Creating test cases from requirements is often time-consuming and inconsistent:

Writing test cases manually in ETM takes significant time and effort
Different team members may interpret requirements differently
Test coverage gaps can occur when requirements are complex
Maintaining traceability between requirements and test cases requires manual linking

Solution

AI-Powered Test Case Generation

The Test Case Generator analyzes your selected requirement and automatically produces a complete test case with verification statement and detailed test steps. Users can customize the number of steps, add specific instructions, edit the generated content in an interactive modal, and send it directly to ETM where test scripts and test cases are automatically created with bidirectional links to the source requirement.

Key Features

Customizable Test Steps - Choose the number of test steps (1-10) or let AI decide automatically
AI Guidance Control - Add additional instructions to guide AI generation
Interactive Editing Modal - Review and modify test steps, add new steps, or remove unnecessary ones before sending
Direct ETM Integration - Automatically creates test scripts and test cases in your selected QM project
Automatic Bidirectional Linking - Creates traceability links from requirements to test cases and vice versa
Visual Feedback - Green success messages and red error messages keep you informed of operation status
Flexible API Key Management - Use server-configured or personal OpenAI API keys stored securely in browser cookies

Benefits

Saves Time - Generates test cases in seconds and sends them directly to ETM
Improves Consistency - Produces uniformly structured test cases across the team
Enhances Coverage - AI identifies test scenarios that might be overlooked, with customizable step counts
Maintains Traceability - Automatic bidirectional linking ensures complete requirements coverage in ETM
Provides Control - Edit, add, or remove test steps before finalizing in the interactive modal
Easy Integration - Works directly within DOORS Next and seamlessly integrates with ETM

The Test Case Generator Widget streamlines your testing workflow by bridging the gap between requirements management and test execution, helping teams deliver higher quality products faster with complete traceability and minimal manual effort.
