AGEST Adds AI Test Design Feature Test Designer to TFACT
AGEST is moving AI assistance into test design, the stage of the testing process that previously depended most on individual engineer experience and skill.

AGEST added Test Designer to TFACT, its AI test management tool. The feature generates test cases with execution steps and test data from specification documents, applying design techniques such as decision tables and boundary values. It cross-references TFACT's test viewpoint library to reduce omissions and keeps traceability from test cases back to source specs. AGEST also released TFACT CLI, daily progress reporting, and assignee assignment.
TFACT already bundled AI assist for test procedure creation, automated execution, and pass/fail judgment. The gap sat one step earlier. Test design relied on the designer's experience and skill, which made omissions and rising man-hours a recurring problem.
Test Designer works as a draft-and-review loop. The AI matches registered specifications against TFACT's test viewpoint library and presents viewpoints to verify, ranked by relevance. It applies design techniques such as decision tables and boundary values, then produces execution steps and input test data. Generated cases flow into TFACT's execution process and work for manual and automated runs.
The feature keeps traceability from each test case back to its test conditions, viewpoints, and the original spec passage. The AI also self-checks its conditions and flags findings as major, caution, or reference.
