Agentic AI Test Execution in Jira and Xray: A New Approach to Manual Testing image
Manual testing remains essential for QA teams, especially when applications evolve quickly. But executing repetitive test cases takes time, and traditional automation often requires significant scripting and maintenance.

What if AI could execute your existing manual tests without rewriting them?

From Manual Testing to Agentic Execution

Agentic AI makes this possible by interpreting test cases written in natural language, interacting with web applications, and verifying expected results.

Unlike traditional test automation, it doesn't require creating or maintaining scripts.

Lynqa, an AI agent developed by Smartesting, brings this approach directly into Jira and Xray.

How Does Lynqa Work?

The process is simple:

  1. Select your existing manual or Gherkin test cases in Xray.

  2. Execute them with Lynqa's AI agent, without rewriting or scripting.

  3. Review step-by-step reports, screenshots, and execution evidence.

  4. Validate the results and save them directly in Xray.

Tests can also run in parallel, helping teams accelerate testing cycles.

AI Executes, Testers Stay in Control

Agentic AI doesn't replace testers or traditional automation. It complements existing QA practices by handling repetitive execution while testers focus on analysis, exploratory testing, and quality decisions.

The goal isn't to automate everything. It's to make existing testing processes more efficient without adding complexity.

Discover Lynqa and explore agentic test execution in Jira and Xray.
