How to Use Copilot4DevOps
Copilot4DevOps helps teams and companies create higher quality products at a lower cost through better AI requirements management. Here are some tasks you can perform with Copilot4DevOps:
a. Analysis
With Copilot4DevOps, you can rate the quality of work item data measured against the 6C’s (i.e., clarity, completeness, conciseness, consistency, correctness, and context). The results are rated on a scale of 0% to 100%.
This qualitative analysis allows you to evaluate the quality of communication and identify any areas that need improvement. Therefore, it reduces the time and effort required for manual authoring.
b. Elicitation and Rewriting
You can enter requirements in a draft format and get those results formatted in bullet form or as a paragraph. If the returned text is to your liking, you can edit and/or replace it within the requirement window.
c. Summarizing
You can enter requirements in a draft format and get those results formatted in bullet form or as a paragraph. If the returned text is to your liking, you can edit and/or replace it within the requirement window.
d. Elaboration
You can add more detail to an already written requirement, giving you options to choose and edit. It reduces the need for additional input and ensures a more comprehensive suite of requirements.
e. Converting Work Items to Use Cases/User Stories
You can convert selected work item fields into use cases from an ACTOR or USER perspective at the touch of a button.
f. Gherkin Language Translation
Tools like Gherkins can help you better understand what your user wants and let you serve them better.
Gherkin tests allow product teams to describe needs for new products. With Copilot4DevOps, you can automatically convert requirements to Gherkin language syntax. It speeds up the process of turning requirements to test cases, improving overall time-to-market.
g. Translation
You can translate work item data to multiple languages with high accuracy. This is especially helpful for highly distributed teams who communicate in different languages and teams which serve customers in different language communities.
All these benefits work together to make Copilot4DevOps a powerful assistant at every stage of your application lifecycle.
