Agent-skills-standard quality-engineering-zephyr-test-generation

Generate Zephyr test cases from Jira stories: parse AC, identify platform and market, impact-analyze existing TCs (update vs create new), draft test cases with correct naming/metadata/preconditions, and link back via Create Test Case Issue Link. Use when converting a Jira story into Zephyr TCs, or when requirement changes require updating existing TCs rather than creating duplicates. (triggers: **/user_story.md, generate test cases, zephyr, impact analysis, create test case)

Zephyr Test Generation Standards

Priority: P1 (HIGH)

Workflow: Jira → Zephyr

  1. Analyze Requirements:
  • Extract: Summary, ACs, Platform per AC row, Market, Components.
  • Fetch Jira with
    ?expand=renderedFields
    — HTML authoritative for platform colors:
    #00B8D9
    = Web ·
    #36B37E
    = Mobile ·
    #FF991F
    = Web+Mobile
  • See Actor/Permission Matrix for role/market logic.
  1. Impact Analysis (run before any TC creation)
  • Step — Direct Lookup: Call
    Get Issue Link Test Cases
    with Jira issue key (e.g.,
    EZRX-42302
    ).
  • Step B — Supplemental: If Step 0, search by
    [Module]
    and
    [Screen]
    keywords + check sibling issue links.
  • See Discovery Protocol for full chain.
  • Map each AC to coverage status:
  • Covered → ask user: skip or update to current format?
  • Partial → always propose NEW TC.
  • Not Covered → always create NEW TC.
  1. Draft Artifact:
  • Delete any existing
    zephyr_test_plan.md
    before writing.
  • Follow 4-section format in TC Format Reference exactly.
  • After writing: read back file and print full content in chat so user can review without opening it.
  • Ask for: review approval, handling of Covered ACs, and Zephyr Folder ID.
  1. Create in Zephyr (after explicit user approval)
  • Create Test Case
    (with
    customFields
    included — no separate Update needed) →
    Create Test Case Steps
    Create Test Case Issue Link
  • For updates to existing TCs: fetch current steps via
    Get Test Case Steps
    , show before/after diff, wait for explicit approval, then
    Update Test Case
    .

Platform Rules

AC rowAction
Single row
[ WEB + MOBILE ]
ONE TC, Platform = "Web and Mobile", no platform prefix in name
Two rows same behavior, different platformsTWO TCs with
Web_
/
Mobile_
prefix — never merge

Naming & Filing

  • Name: Prefix
    Web_
    /
    Mobile_
    only when platform-exclusive; omit prefix for Web and Mobile.
  • Folder: Use exact Folder ID provided by user or specified in Technical Impact.

Role Mapping Rule

  • CRITICAL: If Acceptance Criteria uses generic terms like "user", "buyer", or "customer" in ordering/checkout context, it MUST mapped to ALL purchasing roles:
    ["Client user", "Client admin", "Internal sales rep", "External sales rep"]
    . not default to
    Client user
    .

API Critical Notes (SmartBear MCP —
@smartbear/smartbear-mcp
)

  • Create Test Case
    requires
    projectKey="EZRX"
    and supports
    customFields
    directly (no separate Update needed for Roles/Platform).
  • Create Test Case Steps
    uses
    testCaseKey
    +
    mode
    (APPEND/OVERWRITE) +
    items[]
    .
  • Create Test Case Issue Link
    uses
    testCaseKey
    +
    issueId
    (numeric Jira issue ID — get from ticket's
    id
    field, not key string).
  • Get Issue Link Test Cases
    uses
    issueKey
    (e.g.,
    EZRX-42302
    ) — returns linked TC keys directly.
  • Update Test Case
    uses
    testCaseKey
    — only needed when modifying existing TCs, not for new creation.

Anti-Patterns

  • No prefix omission: TC name sent to Zephyr API must include
    Web_
    or
    Mobile_
    prefix for platform-exclusive TCs — copy verbatim from artifact draft; omit prefix only when Platform = "Web and Mobile".
  • No Draft skip: Always set status = Draft; never auto-approve.
  • No flat folderId: Use
    "folder": {"id": X}
    in all PUT payloads.
  • No WEB+MOBILE split: One AC row = one TC with Platform "Web and Mobile".
  • No platform merge: Two AC rows, different platforms = two separate TCs.
  • No silent update: Show before/after diff; wait for explicit approval.
  • No lookup skip: Always run Step direct link lookup before supplemental search.
  • No stale artifact: Delete existing
    zephyr_test_plan.md
    before each run.
  • No coverage skip: Coverage Analysis table must open every artifact.
  • No ghost update: Update Zephyr TC whenever matching code changes.
  • No vague steps: Use specific observable outcomes — e.g.,
    "System works"
    "Banner 'Success' is visible"
    .
