QAEverest Public API & Jira App — Frequently Asked Questions

What does QAEverest Test Generator for Jira do?
It reads the summary and description of the Jira issue you're viewing, sends them to QAEverest's AI service, and generates structured test cases — titles, step-by-step actions, expected results, and priority. You can then push the generated test cases back into Jira as sub-tasks on the same issue.

How do I get started?
1. Create a free account at qaeverest.ai
2. Go to Settings → API Keys and generate a key (starts with "qae_")
3. Open any Jira issue, launch the QAEverest panel, and paste your API key into Setup
4. Click "Generate Test Cases"

What is the QAEverest API key, and is it required?
Yes — it authenticates your requests to the QAEverest backend and tracks your credit balance. Without it, the app cannot generate test cases. Your key is stored locally in your browser; QAEverest's servers store only a one-way hash of it, never the raw key.

Is there a free tier?
Yes, new accounts include a number of free generations. After that, you'll need an active paid plan on qaeverest.ai — the panel shows your remaining credit balance and prompts you to top up when you run out.

What Jira data does the app access?
Only the summary and description of the issue you actively open the panel on, read on demand — the app does not continuously scan or bulk-export your Jira issues, and does not use your issue content to train AI models.

Where is my issue content processed?
Your submitted issue text is sent from Atlassian's infrastructure to QAEverest's backend (api.qaeverest.ai) and its AI sub-processor to generate a result. See the full Privacy Policy for details.

Can I review test cases before they're added to Jira?
Yes — generated test cases are shown in the panel first. You choose which ones to push; nothing is written to Jira automatically.

How are test cases added to Jira?
Each approved test case is created as a Sub-task under the issue you generated it from, including steps, expected result, and priority in the description.

What if generation fails or times out?
Generation runs as a background job and the panel polls for the result. If it returns an error, check that your API key is valid and that you have remaining credits. Persistent failures can be reported to support.

Does this work with Jira Service Management?
The panel works on any Jira issue type, including service desk requests.

Is my data secure?
All traffic to the QAEverest backend uses TLS encryption. The app only requests the minimum Jira scopes needed (read:jira-work, write:jira-work).
