You’ll see how you can reference and reuse test cases across multiple Jira projects, no matter the test case type.

The next evolution in QA: How AI is changing software testing

Shipping high-quality software quickly is challenging. QA professionals are facing pressure to test more, faster in a world where GenAI is pushing delivery – all while trying to cut costs. For years, manual testing and traditional automation tools like Selenium have been the standard. But both come with challenges. Manual testing alone can be slow and prone to errors, while Selenium and similar tools require coding expertise, need constant script maintenance, and are easily broken by UI changes.
