Improve Test Case Description and Steps Using QI

Introduction

QMetry’s AI-driven features streamline the process of revising test cases. Testers can quickly update descriptions, pre-conditions, and specific step details using QMetry Intelligence (QI). The feature ensures the test cases remain relevant and accurate. This not only saves time but also enhances the overall quality of testing by allowing for more agile and responsive test management.

The changes in the test case fields are recorded in the Audit Logs of the respective test case.

Testers can refine and enhance the content using the following options:

  • Regenerate Text: QI rewrites the content for improved clarity or structure.

  • Suggest Alternatives: QI provided alternative phrasing or wording options to enhance the content.

  • Add More Details to Text: QI expands the content by including additional information or context.

  • Summarize Text: QI condenses the content into a shorter, more concise form while retaining key details.

  • Ask QI: Additionally, testers can prompt QI with specific commands such as Enrich Vocabulary, Adjust Tone (e.g. make it more formal or professional), Simplify Text, Proofread Text (e.g. check grammar, spelling, and punctuation), Refine the Text or Make it More Engaging.

Improve Test Case Details Using QI

You can enhance the test case details including Description, Precondition, and Test Steps using QI.

Notes:

  • The test case description and pre-condition should have sufficient content to re-generate.

  • For test steps, QI supports the improvement of the Step Summary and Expected Result fields. The Step Summary should be present with sufficient details.

The following options are available that help you improve the content:

  • Ask QI

  • Regenerate

  • Suggest Alternatives

  • Add more details

  • Summarise

These options are described in detail.

Ask QI

The option allows you to enter prompts to improve the existing text by asking QI to eliminate spelling and grammar errors in the text, enhance the professionalism of the text, or improve its overall engagement. The text is re-generated by QI as per the provided prompts to improve and refine the text. You can construct your question up to ten words.

Some sample prompts are readily available on the screen to use:

  • Refine the text

  • Proofread the text

  • Enrich Vocabulary

  • Make it more professional (Adjust the Tone)

  • Make it more engaging

  • Simplify the text

Note: The prompts “Regenerate text” and “Redefine text” are not supported for the Ask QI option.

You can use the Regenerate option instead of the “Regenerate text” prompt.
