Introducing Qualitia Design Studio

Qualitia Design Studio helps project teams in reducing gaps in Requirements and Implementation by enabling effective communication between Business Analysts and Test Analysts. It helps expedite Test Case Development by automatically generating Test Case Structure based on Requirements. Business Analysts can track the coverage and completeness of Test Cases for the requirements.

Using Qualitia Design Studio, JIRA users can:

• Prepare detailed requirements using existing stories and epics in the JIRA server
• Create business rules inside stories
• Add activities and steps for validating business rules
• Clone business rules
• Reuse activities across stories and epics from the same JIRA project, when creating and updating business rules
• Update or remove business rules, activities, and steps
• Monitor change management for activities that may have been used in more than one business rule
• Update requirements in JIRA and synchronize changes with Automation Studio
