Aug 23, 2026 By Gerald Pereira In OctoPerf

Get more control over AI Test Case Generation in Xray

Aug 20, 2026 By Mariana Santos In Xray
Writing Tests from Requirements often starts with the same decision: how many scenarios does this change actually need? The number of Tests needed for a Requirement depends on the behavior it describes. A small change may require only a few Tests, while a feature with several acceptance criteria, user roles, and possible outcomes may need a broader set.
