Generate Test Cases for Desktop
Testsigma’s Gen AI capabilities help you streamline test case creation for Desktop applications. By analyzing input sources such as Jira stories, Figma designs, Xray requirements, video recordings, and other file formats like images and PDFs, Testsigma generates manual test cases that align with UI elements. You can quickly convert these test cases into actionable test steps with a single click. This article discusses generating test cases for Desktop apps using Gen AI capabilities in Testsigma.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that,
- Your Jira and Figma accounts are integrated with Testsigma and you have the necessary files ready for input.
- You have referred to the documentation on creating test cases.
- You have referred to the documentation on creating projects.
Steps to Generate Test Cases
- From the left navigation bar, go to Atto’s Home.
- Click Generate with AI.
- On the Generate Test Cases page, click Jira Requirements.
-
In the Add Jira Tickets dialog,
- From the Jira Project dropdown, select a project.
-
Under Issue Type, select either Epic or Story:
- If you select Epic, choose the stories under that epic.
- If you select Story, choose the stories you want to generate test cases for.
- Click Save.

NOTE:
You can add more input sources for test case generation by selecting necessary option in the Generate Test Cases section.
- In the Prompt box, enter a detailed prompt that describes test cases want to generate.
- The Read existing test case library checkbox is selected by default. Clear this checkbox if you do not want the system to consider existing test cases while generating new ones.
NOTE:
- Once the Read existing test case library option is enabled, it cannot be unselected during the same session. The selection remains applicable throughout the session. However, you can enable this option at any time during a session if it was not selected earlier.
- Click Generate with AI.
- Wait for Generator Agent to generate the test cases based on the selected stories and prompt.
- After the test cases are generated, expand a category and select a test case.
- In the Test Case Details dialog, go to the Manual Steps tab and review the generated steps.
- Click Edit to manually add a step or block, or to modify existing steps.
- If you want to refine the steps using Atto, enter a prompt and click Refine manual steps.
- Click Generate Automated Steps to convert the manual steps into NLP-based automated steps.
- To execute the test before saving, hover over Run with Copilot and select the environment where you want to run the test steps. Copilot executes the steps automatically. Review the results to ensure everything works as expected, then click Save to Library to save the test case to your project.
- To save the test directly, click Save to Library. In the Select Location dialog box, expand the required Feature and select the Scenario where you want to save the automated test case.
- Repeat steps 8–15 for all the test cases you want to add.
