Product basics

What KontexIQ does

KontexIQ reviews backlog items with project context so teams can make better requirement, testing, and release-readiness decisions.

What value do users get from KontexIQ?

Users get source-backed requirement gaps, clarifying questions, test scenario drafts, RBT recommendations, and release confidence signals. The practical value is less manual review, fewer late requirement surprises, and testing decisions that are easier to explain.

Who is KontexIQ for?

KontexIQ is for product owners, QA leads, delivery managers, engineering leads, and teams that manage delivery in Azure DevOps or Jira.

Is KontexIQ a chatbot?

No. Ask KontexIQ is one capability, but the product is focused on project intelligence: backlog readiness, test coverage, RBT recommendations, project Q&A, and reviewable delivery evidence.

Does KontexIQ replace product owners or QA?

No. KontexIQ drafts recommendations and evidence for human review. Teams decide what to accept, edit, reject, or route back into their delivery workflow.

Getting started

Start with the delivery system your team already uses

The fastest path is to connect one Azure DevOps or Jira project and review a small set of real backlog items.

Choose a systemUse the Azure DevOps or Jira path based on where your backlog lives.

Using KontexIQ

How teams use the product

How do I analyze a backlog item?

Open the KontexIQ app, choose Azure DevOps or Jira, initialize or select a project, then analyze a work item or issue. KontexIQ reviews the item and returns gaps, questions, tests, and RBT guidance.

What does Ask KontexIQ do?

Ask KontexIQ answers project questions using the initialized project context, such as requirement details, risk areas, testing coverage, release readiness, and linked delivery evidence.

Can KontexIQ generate tests?

Yes. KontexIQ drafts practical test scenarios across happy path, negative, edge-case, integration, regression, and data coverage. Teams can edit or reject the output before using it.

What is RBT in KontexIQ?

RBT means risk-based testing. KontexIQ recommends whether a backlog item should be manual, automated, hybrid, skipped, investigated, or blocked, with rationale and confidence.

Can KontexIQ write back to Azure DevOps or Jira?

For Azure DevOps, KontexIQ can post approved gap questions back through the extension flow. Jira support is focused on hosted app analysis and project context today; write-back behavior should be reviewed with the KontexIQ team for your setup.

Integrations and deployment

Azure DevOps, Jira, private Azure, and MCP

Does KontexIQ support both Azure DevOps and Jira?

Yes. KontexIQ supports Azure DevOps and Jira as delivery systems, with dedicated pages and setup flows for each.

What project context can KontexIQ use?

KontexIQ can use backlog items, acceptance criteria, comments, requirements, docs, decision records, test evidence, incident context, and other connected project information depending on the setup.

Can KontexIQ run in a customer-owned Azure subscription?

Yes. Private Azure deployment is available for teams that need project data, vectors, logs, connector credentials, and AI keys to stay in the customer's Azure subscription.

What is KontexIQ MCP?

KontexIQ MCP lets MCP-capable agent clients such as GitHub Copilot access authenticated KontexIQ project intelligence, scoped to the signed-in user's allowed projects.

How does KontexIQ handle uncertain or missing context?

KontexIQ is designed to show uncertainty instead of inventing confidence. When project context is weak, it should surface what is missing and recommend the next clarification step.
