Stop Treating Automated Tests Like Manual Jira Test Cases
Automated tests should not be recreated as manual Jira test cases. This creates a second source of truth that decays quickly. Instead, focus on what Jira needs to know from each automated run, such as pass/fail status, failed tests, and context for decision-making. This approach changes the system's shape and provides the necessary information without duplication. Engineers should ask themselves what evidence and context Jira needs, rather than trying to recreate automated tests as manual cases.
