Tricentis unveils AI-powered qTest Copilot for testers

Tue, 12th Nov 2024

Tricentis has introduced qTest Copilot, a generative AI-powered tool that has been designed to streamline test case generation for quality assurance and development teams.

qTest Copilot is the latest addition to Tricentis's Copilot suite, which aims to simplify and quicken testing processes for software delivery. According to the company, the tool leverages generative AI to automate the drafting of test cases, identify quality gaps, and standardise test descriptions.

The solution is embedded in the latest version of the Tricentis qTest platform, which Tricentis says promises to accelerate software delivery by combining scalable test management technology with AI-augmented features. Teams are enabled to cover more test scenarios and unexpected events efficiently, generating test steps and results instantly with a single click.

The generative AI features are designed to ensure consistent test case descriptions across teams, aiding in the creation of standards for comprehensive test coverage. qTest Copilot allows users to streamline their processes by approving, modifying, or creating new test steps as necessary.

The features of qTest Copilot include the ability to control which projects and users have access, summarise outputs, elaborate details, and regenerate test steps without altering the overall scope. Additional functionalities are expected to enhance test case discovery and review processes further in 2025.

Mav Turner, Chief Product and Strategy Officer at Tricentis, commented, "Developer and QA teams today are looking to drive meaningful and measurable improvements to the test coverage of their applications, all while driving significant productivity gains.

"Feedback from our beta program suggests that qTest Copilot is enabling users to create complex test cases far more quickly than ever before, while also identifying gaps in test coverage that might have otherwise been overlooked," Turner said.

"By automating these critical testing steps, teams can focus their efforts on higher-value activities, ultimately accelerating delivery timelines and improving overall software quality."

Tricentis research highlights that 60% of DevOps practitioners consider testing the most valuable area for AI investment within the software delivery lifecycle. The findings also indicate that AI-augmented tools could save development teams over 40 hours per month. Following the release of Testim Copilot and Tosca Copilot earlier this year, qTest Copilot furthers Tricentis's generative AI-powered test automation offerings.

The qTest Copilot will be available with all new purchases of the updated qTest version, while existing customers can upgrade to access the new capabilities. This solution aims to support enterprises in enhancing testing efficiency for improved business outcomes.
