Build
Integrate code and identify the exact build to test.
Output: a versioned build
THE MARKET POSITION · ONE CLEAR WORKFLOW
CI builds. CP verifies. CD delivers.
Keep your existing build and deployment tools. Add a single requirement-centered proof step between them, with business evidence your delivery team and PMO can read at a glance.
Prove
Select approved requirements and ready test cases. Run the configured checks. Collect UI, API, database and downstream evidence where mapped.
Output: one report with independent verdicts for each build
Deliver
Use the proof report within your existing release gates and approval process.
Output: a documented release decision
CI → AN8 PROOF (CP) → CD
Example: one approved referral requirement, two technology stacks.
Run the same approved business test against the legacy build and the modern build. Each produces its own evidence and verdict. A legacy pass never substitutes for a modern pass.
Continuous Proof is AN8 PROOF's proposed named stage, not a claim that existing CI/CD tools lack automated testing.
FIVE CAPABILITIES · ALL SUPPORT CONTINUOUS PROOF
Select tests. Execute. Verify results.
Start with the approved requirement, use tests you already have, and produce a clear verdict for the exact build. Your existing tools stay in place.
01 · EXECUTE
Select once. Run approved tests.
Choose requirements and their ready test cases, then request execution on a selected build. Preflight checks identify missing mappings or prerequisites.
02 · REUSE
Reuse approved business tests.
Keep the approved business rule and test when the rule is unchanged. Choose the target system and build, then collect independent evidence and a verdict for each run.
03 · VERIFY
See the failure immediately.
Start with the requirement verdict. Open the API, processing, database, or downstream checkpoint to compare expected and actual evidence.
04 · REPORT
One report for QA and PMO.
Show what is proven, disproven, blocked, or not proven on a release, with linked defects, owners, gaps, and next actions.
05 · INTEGRATE
Fits your CI/CD pipeline.
CP uses existing scripts, Jira/Xray, build pipelines and authorized adapters. It produces requirement-level evidence without replacing CI or CD.
PRODUCT BOUNDARY
Human approval stays visible
Business owners approve the expected rule. Testers review ambiguous failures. An imported manual case needs technical mapping before it becomes executable.
THE ONE-CLICK EXPERIENCE
Select. Execute. Verify.
Choose an approved requirement, its ready test cases and a specific build.
Click once to request all selected configured checks. Missing prerequisites are shown, not hidden.
See PROVEN, DISPROVEN, NOT PROVEN or BLOCKED. Drill into expected versus actual only when needed.
CLICKABLE DEMO · SYNTHETIC DATA
Try the proof workflow.
Open a requirement, review its approved cases, select a versioned proof run, and inspect the evidence and verdict. This interactive prototype uses sample data; it does not connect to a customer system.
MANUAL TO CONFIGURED PROOF
Start with the requirements and cases already on hand.
Importing an RTM or CRTM should be the beginning of a guided setup, not a promise that every manual case is immediately automated.
Bring in requirements, cases, inputs, expected results, and approval status.
Confirm the business expectation; flag unapproved or unclear cases.
Connect entry points, data, checkpoints, and permitted evidence sources.
Run on a versioned binding; keep separate legacy and modern results.
Changed business rule? Create and approve a new requirement version. Compare the change explicitly; do not present unlike versions as an identical pass-for-pass test.
APPLICATION LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT · ALM
One requirement. Its complete path to release.
AN8 PROOF is designed to connect the work already recorded across the customer’s ALM tools. QA and PMO can open a requirement and see who owns the next step, what has been tested on each build, and which gaps still prevent a release decision.
Capture the business rule, owner, approval, version, expected outcomes, and affected components. Changes to the rule require a new approved version.
Link logical test cases, data, checkpoints, assigned tester, coverage gaps, and related Jira or ALM work items.
Track the release candidate, deployment readiness, adapter mapping, environment, and pinned legacy or modern build.
Request selected cases, then inspect the verdict and run-specific UI, API, processing, database, and downstream evidence.
Defects, gaps, and next actions
A failed business rule is DISPROVEN; an execution exception is NOT PROVEN; a missing prerequisite is BLOCKED. Show linked defects, owner, status, and the next action beside the requirement.
Release readiness by requirement
See PROVEN, DISPROVEN, NOT PROVEN, and BLOCKED separately for each pinned build. Legacy proof never becomes modern proof automatically. A release decision stays with the authorized customer team.
Keep your existing ALM system. Jira, Xray, HP ALM, CI/CD, and existing test suites remain systems of record where applicable. AN8 PROOF is the proposed requirement-centered execution and proof view, connected through authorized integrations; the interactive demo uses synthetic data and does not provide live ALM synchronization.
HONEST COMPARISON
AN8 PROOF alongside your existing automation.
Traditional backend automation may already execute the same checks. CP brings approved requirements, selected builds, test execution, business verdicts and QA/PMO reporting into one workflow. Measure any labor advantage against the customer’s actual baseline.
| Task | Existing back-end automation | AN8 PROOF goal |
|---|---|---|
| Run technical checks | CI and scripts execute API, database, and message assertions. | Use the same scripts or configured adapters from a requirement-focused selection. |
| Explain a failure | Read test reports, logs, and linked records, depending on the current setup. | Show the affected business outcome first, then the failing checkpoint and source evidence. |
| Test a replacement | Configure new targets and maintain traceability in the current tools. | Bind unchanged approved tests to the modern implementation and record fresh independent proof. |
| Review a release | Combine test status, requirements, defects, and build information as supported by existing tools. | Present one requirement-level view of verdicts, blockers, defects, and exact builds. |
When is there little added value? If a team already has easy requirement-based execution, versioned legacy/modern evidence, and a reliable release view, AN8 PROOF must outperform that workflow in a pilot before claiming an edge.
PROJECT-WIDE LABOR MODEL · DEVELOPMENT + QA + PMO
Five traditional FTE. 1.5 with AN8 PROOF.
An illustrative project-wide scenario covering Development, QA and PMO effort associated with testing, verification and release reporting—not five testers, and not a guarantee of staffing cuts. Compare your own workload and validate the result in a pilot.
Scope: development test handoffs and defect reproduction; QA execution and evidence verification; PMO status reconciliation and release reporting. Count each saved hour once. The 5-to-1.5 staffing scenario is a project-wide assumption, not a measured AN8 PROOF result or an assertion about all development work.

5.0 FTE − 1.5 FTE = 3.5 FTE · 6,160 modeled labor hours/year · $462,000 equivalent annual labor capacity
Illustrative allocation only: Development 1.0 → 0.3, QA 3.0 → 1.0, PMO 1.0 → 0.2. These are editable modeling inputs, not established staffing requirements. Hours represent equivalent capacity, not automatic payroll savings. Account for implementation, maintenance, oversight and exception handling in an actual business case. Never add savings from the separate task-level calculators below to this total unless they are proven to be outside this modeled workload.
Explore specific QA tasks
The calculators below compare manual QA and existing automation as alternative baselines. They help test assumptions inside the project-wide model; their results are not additional savings to stack on top of the project result.
Example: one requirement, 15 cases. Manual effort includes case submission, checking stored and downstream results, and recording status. AN8 PROOF effort includes batch selection, review of results, and exception handling. First-year setup is counted separately.
