1. Obtain a Jira API Token

Test Assistant requires an API token to securely connect to your Jira account. This token acts like a password for applications.

• Log in to your Atlassian account that has access to your Jira instance.
• Navigate to API token management: Go to Atlassian Account Settings → Security → API tokens .
• Click "Create API token".
• Give your token a descriptive label (e.g., "Test Assistant Token").
• Copy the generated token immediately. You won't be able to see it again. Store it securely.

2. Gather Your Jira Details

You'll need two more pieces of information:

• Jira URL: This is the web address of your Jira instance (e.g., https://your-org.atlassian.net or https://jira.yourcompany.com).
• Jira Email Address: The email address you use to log in to Jira.

3. Connect Test Assistant

Once you have your API token, Jira URL, and email:

• Go to the Test Assistant home page.
• You will be prompted to enter your Jira URL, email address, and the API token you generated.
• Fill in the details and click "Connect".

Your credentials will be stored locally in your browser's localStorage for convenience. To clear them, use the "Disconnect Jira" button on the main page.

4. You're Ready!

After successful connection, you can select a project, view its issues, and start generating test cases with the power of AI.

Important: Ensure the account associated with the API token has the necessary permissions in Jira to read project details and issues, and (if you plan to use the "Attach to Jira" feature fully) to create attachments or sub-tasks. Your Jira instance at https://asudev.jira.com/ must be accessible from the environment where this application is hosted.
