From ticket to release, and back

Every change, checked against the whole product.

AI helps your team write code faster. Checking it hasn't kept up. Robotesta works out what each change must prove, writes and runs the tests, and brings the evidence to your release decision.

PR #491 · Remove workspace member RO-218

Quality contract

What must be true for this change, worked out from the ticket, two earlier decisions, the approved design and the code.

  • A sole owner cannot be removed. Covered · passed
  • The member's audit history remains. Covered · passed
  • Owned resources are reassigned first. New check · passed
  • Access ends the moment a member is removed. New check · failed
Diagnosis

A product gap, not test drift. removeMember() never calls revokeSessions(), so a removed member stays signed in.

Why now

Code got faster. Checking didn't.

More change now moves through the same review, testing and QA capacity. This is what that does to a team, in four steps.

    Every change forces the same choice.

    Wait

    Review it. Test it. Verify it. Lose some of the speed.

    Push through

    Merge now. Check later. Move the risk downstream.

    “Do we have coverage for that path?”

Fast coding only works if checking can keep up.

Speed moved forward. Quality work moved downstream, without the context the code was written from.

The missing context

Software changes faster than a team can reconstruct what each change depends on.

Part of the bottleneck is volume. The part that lets problems through is context: the author didn't have it, the review didn't have it, and the tests were written from the same ticket.

What RO-218 depends on What nothing checks yet The rest of the product

Not what the change touches. What it was meant to do.

Robotesta reconstructs the product around each change before anything is written, and turns it into a quality contract: the list of what must be true.

How it works

It works out what must be true. Then it proves it.

One change, followed from the ticket to the release decision. Robotesta reads your stories, business rules, decisions, designs, code, tests and production signals, then does four things for every change, and keeps learning after it ships.

  1. 01 · Ticket

    Reviews the requirement

    Finds the missing rules before anyone builds.

    Jira · RO-218

    Can the only owner be removed? A workspace always keeps at least one owner.

  2. 02 · Pull request

    Reviews the pull request

    Checks the change against the whole product, not only the changed lines.

    GitHub · PR #491

    Decision #61 says access ends at once. Revoke sessions inside the removal transaction.

  3. 03 · Tests

    Writes and runs the tests

    Reuses the checks you have, writes the ones that are missing, and runs them.

    Run #218-5 · staging

    4 passed. 2 reused, 2 new.

  4. 04 · Release

    Prepares the release decision

    Puts the evidence in one view. A person says ship or hold.

    Members and ownership

    4 of 4 rules covered. No open findings. Sentry: no new issues.

05 · After release

Release is where the learning starts.

Once a change is live, Robotesta keeps watching. It reads production signals and what customers tell your support team, links each one to the change behind it, and turns it into checks for the next release. Your team decides what makes the cut.

Back to 01: the next ticket starts with what this release taught you.

  • Production · Sentry

    New errors in exports-worker after release 2.14.

    Becomes a check for the next change to scheduled exports.

  • Support · customer tickets

    Customers see duplicate audit rows after re-inviting a member.

    Becomes a rule in the quality contract for membership-service.

  • Usage · Google Analytics 4

    Bulk remove is the path admins use most.

    Gets checked first the next time members change.

Five rules it works by

  • Quality contract

    What must be true for a change, agreed before code is written.

  • Reuse first

    Your existing tests count. It writes only the checks that are missing.

  • Diagnose, not just fail

    A failed check says whether the product or the test is wrong, and where.

  • Evidence on the ticket

    Results go back to Jira and the pull request, where your team already looks.

  • A human decides

    Robotesta prepares the release decision. A person makes it.

RO-218 and PR #491 are illustrative. No customer data is shown.

Six people ship every change. You've heard all of them.

Robotesta gives each of them what they were missing.

“It’s a small change.”

Product owner

Shows what each story touches, before coding starts.

“Works on my machine.”

Developer

Reviews every PR in full context and writes the unit tests.

“All tests passed.”

Tester

Designs, runs and automates the tests, in one place.

“We’ll fix it in production.”

Engineering lead

Puts the release evidence in one view. You decide.

“Move fast and break things.”

Founder

Checks the rules and writes the tests as you build.

“You’re absolutely right!”

AI coding agent

Gives your agent the whole product context.

Where it works

Inside the tools your team already uses.

It reads from them, acts in them, and writes the evidence back to them.

  • GitHub
  • CI and the pull request gate

Straight answers

What teams ask us first.

Does it replace our QA team?
No. It does the repetitive checking, so your testers can focus on judgement and the risky areas.
Does it catch everything?
No tool does. It shows what a change touches and what was tested, so the release decision is better informed.
How does it connect to our code?
Through the pull request and the tools you already use, like Jira and GitHub. We show the setup in the demo.
Who decides what ships?
A person. Robotesta brings the evidence; your team says ship or hold.
How much is it?
Free forever for one repository. Team is $49 a month and Growth $100 a month; Enterprise is priced with you. The limits are in Pricing above.
How do you handle our code and data?
Fair question. We walk you through security and data handling in the demo, and answer your security team’s questions there.

Bring one PR. Leave knowing what it would have broken.

Thirty minutes, your Jira, your repo. You leave with the quality contract for one real change: what must be true, what is already covered, and what Robotesta would check, before anything is written.

AI made everything faster. Except knowing it works. Tickets, code, pull requests: they all move at AI speed now. Checking them still moves at human speed.

So verification becomes the bottleneck. Teams can wait, and lose the speed. Or rush, and lose the context: the requirement, the earlier decision, the edge case nobody wrote down. That's how problems reach production, and customers find them first.

Robotesta checks every change against the whole product. It reads the ticket, earlier decisions, the design and the code, and works out what must be true. Then it writes and runs the checks, and shows you what would break, and why.

The evidence goes to your release decision. Your team decides. After release, it learns from production and support, so the next change starts smarter.
