Auto Pilot
It is a new feature added to tracecloud .A phase is a milestone for your project and comprises of a collection of goals; they are visible as an attribute (AutoPilot Phase) in your requirements . As you tie your requirements to these phases, AutoPilot will automatically track which requirements are meeting the goals you have set for each of these phases.
You can think of Auto Pilot as a “Virtual Intelligent Program Manager”.Its job is to keep your project on track with the goals you have defined.You can define design,development,testing,release as phases in AutoPilot.Within these phases we add goals and phases can be connected to requirements individually or in bulk.A goal is a mini-milestone. It focuses on one characteristic of the requirement. For example,
You want your requirements to not be dangling.
You want your requirements to be approved
You want a certain attribute (say Validation) to be at a certain state (Reviewed by customer)
You can have many milestones per phase. A phase is considered passed, only if all the goals in the phase have passed.
Auto Pilot keeps track of all underlying changes to the requirements and constantly evaluates them to see if the goals have been met.
