Using Generative AI to Write Test Cases
Generative AI like ChatGPT or Copilot can help streamline test case design:
AI in Writing Test Cases
| Use Case | How AI Helps |
|---|---|
| Auto-generate test cases | Based on requirements or user stories |
| Convert scenarios into test steps | Saves time writing repetitive steps |
| Suggest edge cases | Helps discover scenarios you might miss |
| Create data-driven tests | Suggest input data for different test types |
| Transform tests into automation scripts | Convert manual cases to code (e.g., Selenium) |
Example Prompt to ChatGPT:
"Generate 5 test cases for a login page with username and password input fields, including both positive and negative scenarios."
đź’ˇ Tip: Always review AI-generated test cases for logic accuracy and relevance to your product.
