Test Coverage Skills

The Test Coverage skills allow teams to evaluate how effectively Jira work items are validated by associated test artifacts within a specific project. It provides a consolidated view of work item-to-test traceability, allowing stakeholders to quickly determine which requirements, stories, or defects are covered by tests and which remain unverified.

By analyzing the relationships between Jira work items and linked test cases, the agent surfaces coverage insights that help identify testing gaps, highlight potential release risks, and support data-driven go/no-go decisions.

Note

The Test Coverage Skill operates on one Jira project at a time. Queries must reference a single project context.

How It Works

When prompted, the agent performs the following actions:

  • Retrieves work items (Stories, Tasks, Bugs, Epics) from the specified Jira project

  • Identifies linked test cases and coverage relationships

  • Aggregates coverage data based on the requested filters or grouping criteria

  • Returns a structured summary that includes the following:

    • Covered work items

    • Uncovered work items

    • Coverage gaps

    • Traceability links

This enables teams to assess coverage completeness across key Jira attributes, including assignee, fix version, and label.

Available Skills

The Zephyr Rovo Agent provides the following capabilities:

  1. Find Work Items Using Jira Query Language (JQL) 

    Search Jira work items using Jira Query Language (JQL) and return the matching issue keys. This enables flexible filtering based on status, version, labels, assignee, issue type, or any custom field.

  2. Get Work Item Details by Key 

    Fetch detailed information for a specific Jira work item using its unique key (for example, PROJ-123). The response includes summary, description, status, fields, and associated metadata.

  3. Get Test Coverage for Work Items 

    For a specified set of Jira work items, identify which items have linked Zephyr test cases and which do not, using Zephyr traceability data. This skill highlights coverage gaps and helps ensure that all critical requirements are validated.

  4. Get All Trace Links for Work Items 

    Retrieve all linked Zephyr artifacts for the given Jira work items, including:

    • Test Cases

    • Test Cycles

    • Test Plans

    • Test Executions

This provides a comprehensive traceability view between requirements and testing artifacts.

Example Prompts

The following examples illustrate prompts you can use with the agent:

  • Get test coverage for work items with Fix Version "v1.0"

  • Get test coverage for work items with Label "Release 2.1"

  • Find work items using JQL: project = PROJ AND status = "In Progress"

  • Get work item details for PROJ-123

  • Get all trace links for work items with Fix Version "v2.0"
