Trust & Governance | Pillar 2 of the platform

Tailor this page to you

Know what’s safe to ship —
even when AI wrote it.

Your dashboards are green, but defects still escape — and now AI writes the tests too. Karate joins what your tests actually did to the requirements they must prove, grades what’s genuinely exercised versus merely claimed, and computes a release decision you can defend.

Traceability that’s true —
computed from real execution.

Not hand-maintained links in an ALM. A git-native graph of requirements ↔ tests ↔ runs, graded exercised-vs-claimed, with a deterministic ship verdict produced by versioned code — no model in the path.

Questions you can finally answer

  • Are we safe to ship?

    A computed verdict with named blockers

  • What looks tested but never ran?

    Exercised vs. merely claimed

  • What AI work is unreviewed?

    The @ai review ledger — nothing self-approves

  • Does every requirement have real evidence?

    A live requirements-traceability matrix

Computed, not guessed · reproducible · defensible in an audit

The business case

Generation got cheap.
Knowing what’s safe to ship didn’t.

When AI writes the code and its tests faster than anyone can review, the bottleneck isn’t building software — it’s trusting it. That trust is what we make measurable.

Your green dashboard can lie

We grade each requirement’s evidence as exercised vs. merely claimed — so “looks tested but never ran” is caught before it ships. Exactly the failure mode when AI writes both the code and its tests.

A ship decision you can defend

A confidence-to-ship verdict computed by code with no model in the path — reproducible, auditable, gateable in CI. The AI explains it; it never decides it.

Govern what your AI produced

Every AI-authored test, rule, or requirement is marked review-pending until a human signs off. You always know what your AI wrote that nobody has checked — and an agent can’t self-approve.

The dashboards are green but defects still escape — and now AI writes the tests too. I can’t tell what a human reviewed versus what the AI signed off for itself.

— What enterprise engineering leaders tell us

You feel this when…

  • Heavy AI code & test generation is already underway
  • Defects escape despite green dashboards
  • Release go/no-go is a gut-feel meeting
  • Traceability and audit are a manual fire drill
  • You’re chartered to govern AI adoption, not just enable it

Under the hood

Intent ⋈ evidence, in one graph.

An ALM stores links a human typed. We derive the trace from what the tests actually did — and grade it.

ALM / traceability suites

  • Trace links are hand-maintained and aspirational
  • Disconnected from what the tests actually ran
  • Can’t tell a requirement is linked to a test that never exercised it

Karate — computed from runs

  • Graph rebuilt from the enriched run log every run
  • Graded: exercised / partial / incidental / never run
  • Deterministic verdict — reproducible, hash-verifiable, no AI

A test declares the requirement it covers; the run proves it — the link is real only when both are true.

# the test declares intent with a tag
@req=ORD-001
Scenario: Premium is calculated for a commercial-auto quote
  When method post
  Then status 200

# the run records the real call — coverage is observed, not asserted
# ORD-001  ->  exercised   (declared AND its real artifact ran)
# ORD-014  ->  NEVER RUN   (linked in the ALM, but no run touched it)  ← the catch

How we make trust computable
