description

End-to-end Jira → Zephyr workflow: parse AC, identify platform and market, impact-analyze existing TCs (update vs create new), draft test cases with correct naming/metadata/preconditions, and link back via create_test_case_issue_link. Use when converting a Jira story into Zephyr TCs, or when requirement changes require updating existing TCs rather than creating duplicates. (triggers: **/user_story.md, generate test cases, zephyr, impact analysis, create test case)

Zephyr Test Generation Standards

Priority: P1 (HIGH)

Workflow: Jira → Zephyr

1. Analyze Requirements:
   • Identify Acceptance Criteria (AC) and verify Actor/Permission Matrix.
   • Perform Atomic AC Decomposition: Break down complex ACs into individual testable units (1 statement = 1 TC).
   • Identify Platform: Detect if requirement applies to Web, Mobile, or Both.
   • Identify Market: Extract Market context (e.g., VN, MY, SG, All).
2. Impact Analysis:
   • Search Zephyr for Existing TCs related to the feature before creating new ones.
   • Perform Impact Analysis to decide: Update those TCs (change logic) existing TCs or create New (new feature) TCs. Ensure you don't create duplicates by updating existing ones first. Document delta changes in TC description.
3. Draft/Merge TCs:
   • Create/Update TCs with correct Zephyr Key (e.g., EZRX-T123).
   • Traceability: Link TC to the Jira Ticket ID (e.g., EZRX-3892) immediately via create_test_case_issue_link.
4. Review: Ensure no "OR" logic and steps are Atomic. Use separate TCs per actor (no OR logic) when different roles see different data. Use Truth Table Verification for multi-condition ACs.

Metadata & Traceability Standards

1. Preconditions: Must be extracted from the requirement as a list of bullet points.
2. Priority: Classify as High, Normal, or Low based on business impact.
3. Traceability (CRITICAL): Always link the TC to the Jira Ticket ID using the create_test_case_issue_link tool.
4. Naming: Prefix with [Web] or [Mobile] ONLY if exclusive. No [Platform] prefix if it applies to Both. Pattern: Module_Action on Screen when user is {Actor} ({Market}). Example: [Web] Invoice_Download invoice on Order Detail when user is Customer (VN).

Anti-Patterns

• Ghost Updates: Changing code without updating the corresponding Zephyr TC.
• Duplicate Creation: Creating a new TC for a logic shift when an update was more appropriate.
• Vague Steps: System works -> Expect Result: Banner 'Success' is visible.
