Governed engineering agents
AroTrace agents can combine selected engineering context with configured actions to prepare structured results. In the documented test-case workflow, people review and edit the draft before explicitly approving what is created and linked in the engineering system.
From requirement to reviewed test draft
Selected requirement and configured context
AI prepares structured, editable candidates
An engineer edits and approves the drafts
Configured writeback and requirement links
Production deployment
Hamilton Robotics
Hamilton Robotics uses AroTrace and AroAgent with Polarion for AI-assisted test generation. Engineering knowledge sources, refinement through engineer feedback and traceability support the workflow, with engineers retaining review and control over outputs.
Explore the Hamilton storyGoverned engineering AI agents use authorized context and perform bounded actions within configured workflow, permission and review constraints. AroAgent brings this capability into AroTrace; it is not a replacement for the engineering teams or source systems responsible for the work.
Specify the input context, allowed actions, checks, human decision points and execution evidence. Permissions and writeback must be verified for the selected integration and action. The reviewed test-case example below requires explicit approval before writeback; that behavior should not be assumed for every possible agent.
A workflow, not an unchecked prompt
Useful engineering agents need more than a model response. A configured workflow controls the available context and actions, carries structured data between steps, validates defined rules, pauses for people where required, and records the execution outcome.
Use the engineering artifact and configured knowledge relevant to the task.
Context is scopedGenerate candidate results in the format expected by later review and validation.
Output contractApply configured structural and deterministic checks before presentation.
Invalid output stopsEdit the draft, remove cases, or regenerate with focused feedback.
Human decisionOnly the approved result proceeds through the configured integration and permissions.
Explicit approvalDocumented example: test-case drafting
In the documented requirement workflow, an agent starts from the selected requirement, prepares structured candidate test cases, and presents their aim, scope, equipment, steps, and expected results for review. The interface below is an illustrative explanation, not a product screenshot.

Nothing is written back in this documented flow until the reviewer approves the batch.
Four boundaries for trustworthy assistance
The configured workflow determines which selected artifacts, knowledge sources, and follow-up lookups may be used.
Integration and agent actions are explicitly configured; flexibility does not mean unrestricted system access.
The documented test-case flow keeps generated cases editable before approval and writeback.
Execution and relationship provenance help teams distinguish agent-assisted output from manual work.
After approval
CreateApproved test cases may be created in the selected target configured for the workflow.
LinkCreated cases can be linked back to the selected requirement with the configured role.
ReportThe result identifies created records, successful links, skipped duplicates, and failures needing attention.
PermissionsSupported writeback uses the current user’s permitted access rather than a shared administrator write identity.
Start a conversation
Bring one bounded workflow, its source context, review decision, and target action. We can evaluate where an AroTrace agent fits and where human judgement must remain explicit.
A governed Engineering AI agent operates within defined task context, access and action boundaries, and applicable human-review requirements. AroAgent uses selected context and configured actions within AroTrace; the documented test-generation flow includes engineer review before approved writeback.
