    Test generation overview

    Revolutionize your test automation with Test generation application. Simply outline your test requirements, and Test generation will generate a comprehensive test script. You can then refine the generated test to meet your exact specifications. It helps you achieve the following:
    • Test generation store application simplifies the process of creating test cases, significantly reducing manual effort and time.
    • You can only provide high-level test requirements, making the process more accessible and less technical.
    • Test generation application generates comprehensive test cases, ensuring thorough testing coverage.
    • You can keep modifying the prompt without saving the generated tests until the final objective has been attained.

    You can use Now LLM Service, Now LLM Long Term Stable models (LTS), Azure OpenAI, Google Gemini or Anthropic Claude on AWS as the AI model provider for all Now Assist skills and AI agents. Use the Configuration Controls in AI Control Tower to define which options are available, then set the skill-level preferences in the Now Assist Admin console.
