An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
Inflectra is filling in its own sector of the software quality automation and test management market by relentlessly focusing on eliminating risk and assuring compliance for mission-critical and highly regulated application environments.
If you are trying to maintain FedRAMP certification across your applications, or, if you know what an FMEA Risk Matrix is (that’s Failure Mode & Effects Analysis in case you don’t), there’s a good chance you’ve already heard of Inflectra, with their multiple layers of test management and orchestration underneath a software portfolio view, and an RPA-like test automation solution.
As DevOps practices and continuous delivery automation advance, complex software is getting pushed into production faster than ever, often with the assistance of AI co-pilots and deployment automation. That is why regulatory bodies and consortiums are responding with increased legislation and standards that affect multiple sovereign regions and industry verticals, and customers are demanding SOC2 compliance to mitigate risk—which drives a risk-based approach to software testing.
For instance, you can start with natural language functional requirement descriptions of the system, and have Inflectra rate the value of the requirements, then generate sample unit tests and validate behavior-driven test suites from there. Or, upon a pull request, component patch, or code change, identify and run just the tests that are most likely to catch potential failures or provide auditable proof of a safe update that meets requirements.
