Use qTest AI Chat

Use AI Chat to interact with your test organization through natural language conversations with AI assistants.

qTest administrators can initiate a trial for AI Chat this feature from the AI Chat window.

Before you start

As an administrator, add users you want to have access to AI Chat to the system generated AI User group. Additionally, all administrators can access AI Chat.

When you first open the AI Chat, accept and read the select the Terms and Conditions to read and accept them.

qTest admins can start an AI trial and add users in the AI Chat. If you're a qTest admin without AI credits, qTest prompts you to start an AI trial when you open AI Chat. To add AI credits, please contact your account manager.

Allow Local Network Access in your browser (opens in a new tab) to ensure the AI Chat loads properly.

Use AI Chat

To access the AI Chat, select the AI Chat button on any page where it's available. Currently, you can only find this in your Requirements tab.

When you open the AI Chat window, you have a few options available from the menu:

• Select the History button to see previous conversations.

• Select the New chat button to start a fresh chat.

• Check the Context icon or hover your mouse over it to see how much context your agent has used for your current chat. If this icon turns red and reaches 100%, start a new chat to avoid low lower-quality responses.

• Select the Credits icon to see how many credits you have available. To add more credits, please contact your account manager.

Start prompting

To start working with AI Chat, chat with your agent like a well-respected intern, giving it clear requests and parameters. To get you started, we have agentic tools that can easily aid with more complex tasks.

Use Agentic Test Creation

Need to create a set of tests to make sure your software meets your requirements? To save manual labor, you can work with Agentic Test Creation in the AI Chat to turn an existing requirement into detailed test cases. Our agent analyzes everything inside of and attached to your requirement, so you can create as many useful, applicable test cases as needed, even if it's more than 10 at a time.

The agent sends all saved AI-generated test cases to the AI Generated folder in the Test Design tab, where you can review, edit, and organize them according to your preferences. qTest marks all AI-generated test cases with the AI-Augmented icon in the top-left, next to the test case ID.

To start creating tests, here are your core actions, along with some example prompts that you can adjust and build on to better meet your needs:

Action	Example prompt
Retrieve all metadata for a requirement.	Can you tell me more about this requirement?
Create test cases without importing them to qTest.	Analyze this requirement and generate test cases.
Import the created tests to qTest and link them to the requirement used to create them.	Create these test cases in qTest and link them to the original requirement.
Request specific types of tests to cover the requirement.	Generate a test case for this requirement that covers performance testing.
Rewrite a generated test case.	Rewrite test case 5 to have more detail.

Reuse test cases

If test cases are already attached to your requirement, the agent asks whether it should avoid duplicates. The agent won't modify any test cases that are already attached to the requirement.

When the agent asks if you want it to avoid duplicating or overlapping with attached tests, you have two options:

• Yes: The agent reuses the test cases already attached to the requirement. The agent then determines what test coverage the existing test cases provide and generates new cases to fill the testing gaps it finds, without duplicating existing test cases.

• No: The agent ignores the attached test cases. The agent then creates test cases as it usually would and may duplicate the requirement's attached test cases.

Update AI Chat Settings

To get an overview of the AI use in your tenant, go to Administration > Settings and select AI Chat.

Get an overview of where you're using AI in your projects in AI Chat Settings.

From here, you can see how many test cases have been generated in your tenant and in each project. You can also see how many test runs those test cases have been used to create. To add more AI users to your instance, select Manage users.

What's next?

Set up a qTest MCP to access even more qTest functions with natural language.

If you're feeling adventurous, you can also try out some MCP commands in your AI Chat, though they work best in a dedicated qTest MCP.
