# Introduction

> AI-powered INVEST scoring, user story improvement, and test generation — inside Azure DevOps.

# Welcome to TestForge

TestForge is an **Azure DevOps extension** that brings AI-powered quality intelligence into every work item. It covers the full pipeline from backlog quality to production-ready test code — without leaving ADO and without sending your data anywhere outside your tenant.

## What TestForge does

**The work item panel (PO / BA)**

* Instant heuristic INVEST score on every work item — offline, no API call
* LLM-powered deep analysis with criterion-level suggestions
* One-click description and acceptance criteria improvement with writeback
* Side-by-side diff before anything is saved

**The QA Hub (QA engineers)**

* Manual test generation with Gherkin (Given/When/Then) per typology
* Push tests to ADO via the *Tested By* relation — no Test Plans licence required
* Automated test code generation in 8 frameworks
* 5-dimension code quality score before pushing to Repos
* Configurable test count: simple slider (2–32) or advanced per-typology control

## Who is it for?

| Role                    | Primary benefit                                                            |

| **Product Owner / BA**  | Write better user stories faster; see INVEST score on every item           |
| **QA Engineer**         | Generate test cases and test code in seconds instead of hours              |
| **Engineering Manager** | Track backlog quality over time; enforce a Definition of Ready             |
| **CISO / Compliance**   | All data stays in your tenant — auditable, BYOK, no third-party processing |

<Warning>
  TestForge servers **never receive** your user stories, acceptance criteria, or generated tests. All LLM calls go browser-direct from your ADO tab to the endpoint you configure, under your credentials.
