Smarter Test Design: AI Test Case Generation in Xray - Blog

QA teams are more critical than ever but also more pressed for time. With faster development cycles and growing complexity, testers must keep speed and quality in balance. Yet test case creation is still slow, manual, and repetitive - consuming time, introducing errors, and risking missed scenarios.

It’s time for something better.

Introducing AI-Powered Test Case Generation in Xray

A faster, smarter way to turn your requirements into structured, accurate test cases — with full transparency and control. Whether you're working with Manual tests or Cucumber (BDD) format, this saves hours of writing and helps you keep pace with change.

Why We Built AI Test Case Generation in Xray

While many tools offer AI test generation, most operate black boxes - spitting out full tests with little context. They generate full test cases instantly, often missing critical context, leaving testers to rewrite or clean up what should’ve saved them time.

We believe there’s a better way.

Xray’s approach positions AI as a collaborator, not a replacement. Our “Review, Edit & Select” step ensures every suggestion passes through the most critical quality filter: the human one.

How AI Test Case Generation works in Xray

When enabled, Xray AI Test Generation allows you to:

• Select one or more requirements, preconditions, or coverable issues
• Instantly preview AI-suggested test titles and descriptions
• Review, edit, or discard suggestions before generating full tests
• Choose Manual or Cucumber format to match your workflow

The result: test cases that are faster to produce, higher in quality, and always aligned with your real needs.

What makes Xray’s AI Test Case Generation different

 ✅ AI assistance, not automation
You’re still in control. Every suggestion passes through a real person before becoming a test.

✅ Speed + accuracy
Generate more tests in less time, without sacrificing alignment to system behavior.

✅ Supports real QA workflows
Manual and BDD-style test formats

✅ Built with privacy in mind
All data is encrypted in transit and never stored or reused for training.

✅ Privacy-first design
All requirement data is encrypted in transit and never stored or reused by the LLM.

✅ Scalable and secure
Control who can use AI features with Jira permission schemes — ideal for teams of any size.

Who's it for

This capability is ideal for:
