Short answer

How can I use my AI to triage bugs?

Your AI uses TestMonitor to pull lists of reported issues and pull deep details from specific test cases. This lets you quickly identify which defects need immediate attention and which developer should handle them.

Triage outcomes

Where every issue lands.

The AI organizes your bug reports into actionable categories.

PRIORITY

Critical bugs identified

The AI scans your reported issues to find high-priority defects. You get a clear view of what's broken right now.

ASSIGNMENT

Ready for developers

Once the AI gathers the necessary details, you can hand off specific defects to your team members.

REVIEW

Needs human eyes

The AI flags complex or ambiguous defects that require a person to make the final call on severity.

STATUS

Updated bug lists

You get a clean, organized list of current issues that you can use for your next standup or sprint planning.

The workflow

What your AI does when the issues arrive.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of data gathering so you can focus on decision making.

  1. Gathering the backlog

    The AI pulls a complete list of all currently reported issues from your TestMonitor account.

    list_issues

  2. Deep inspection

    For any specific bug you're looking at, the AI pulls the exact test case details to see how it failed.

    get_test_case_details

  3. Filtering noise

    The AI uses the issue lists to separate minor UI glitches from major functional failures.

    list_issues

  4. Detail verification

    The AI checks the specific test case data to ensure you have the reproduction steps needed for a fix.
