What is Inflectra.ai?
Our new Inflectra.ai capability is a cloud native feature that will be directly embedded inside Spira (and eventually Rapise) and makes GenAI features easy to use and seamless, with a single click setup to activate within your instance of Spira. Available for both trial and production accounts, Inflectra.ai lets us take on the hassle of managing the LLM and avoids the need to configure external models or AI providers. Instead, Inflectra will be hosting a variety of different LLMs inside its Amazon accounts (one per region to ensure we comply with data residency requirements) and tailoring the LLM being used to the specific use case.
This means that regardless of your hosting provider (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.) you can use Inflectra.ai to turbocharge the productivity of your team. It also allows you to have a fixed standard cost for the GenAI functionality, bundled into your existing Spira subscription. This takes away any usage pricing uncertainty or anxiety. So, how it works in practice...
How to Activate Inflectra.ai in SpiraPlan
Once you have added the Inflectra.ai service to your subscription, you will need to go to the General Settings section of the System Administration:
You can then set the Inflectra AI toggle to be Yes. This now enables Inflectra.ai system-wide, for any product that also chooses to enable the AI functionality. This is effectively a double opt-in, and is part of our Responsible AI policy.
Once that is done, you can now go to the product administration for the Spira product that you want to enable AI for:
Click on the View Details button to edit the settings of the product:
On the product settings page, set the Inflectra AI toggle to Yes and click Save. You have now enabled Inflectra.ai for your product and can now begin using it.
Using Inflectra.ai: AI That Understands Context
Once activated for a specific product, you can access Inflectra.ai by means of a new dedicated icon in the navigation bar at the top of the screen (next to the user profile avatar):
When you click on this icon, it activates the new Inflectra.ai sidebar that will be displayed on the right-hand side of the screen. This sidebar is context-specific and will show you all the AI tasks that are available on the current screen. For example, we are on a Requirements Detail page, so it gives us the options to create test cases, identify tasks, generate BDD scenarios, and deduce risks.
When it completes the requested activity, it will generate the appropriate artifacts and then add commentary in the sidebar, with links to each of the generated items. In this example, it has created 4 test cases from the current requirement.
In this example, we can see how the AI has identified 2 risks associated with the current requirement.
There is a transcript of the current AI session in the sidebar, so you can keep track of what has been generated.
Currently, the AI will generate the items as a standard action, but we plan on allowing you to give feedback to the AI to regenerate the artifacts or adjust the items. For example, you will be able to ask it to generate test cases that are similar to the ones created, but use a different format, or you could ask it to identify additional risks that are in a different category. One of the benefits of the new Inflectra.ai platform is that it is fully cloud-native and can be updated at a faster velocity than the core Spira application. This will let our product teams innovate faster.
