Does T-Sigma replace Playwright/Selenium, or generate scripts on top of them?
Test Studio doesn't replace them — it generates test scenarios, test cases, and test data from the Knowledge Base graph, then converts that into automated scripts using an inbuilt framework built on Playwright and Selenium. The output is standard, portable test code your team owns, not a proprietary scripting language.
How does T-Sigma's regression-impact analysis determine what a change actually affects?
Test Studio works with Knowledge Base's requirement-and-defect graph to determine what a given change actually touches, so regression coverage targets what changed rather than re-running the full suite every time.
How is T-Sigma different from a traditional AI-enabled test automation tool?
Traditional tools generate tests from the application surface. T-Sigma generates tests from a requirement-and-system knowledge graph first — so coverage reflects what a requirement was actually supposed to do, not just what's technically clickable. It was also built around agentic orchestration from the first line of code, not retrofitted onto a record-and-playback tool.
Can Test Studio run performance tests, or only functional ones?
Test Studio can generate performance test scenarios using the same knowledge-graph context it uses for functional tests. It does not run or analyze performance test execution today — that remains a distinct discipline, typically covered under Ticking Minds' Quality Engineering services.
Does T-Sigma integrate with our existing DevOps stack?
Knowledge Base integrates with Azure DevOps, Jira, GitLab, and GitHub; Test Studio imports user stories directly from those same tools to generate coverage.
What's the engagement model — do we deploy this, or does Ticking Minds run it for us?
T-Sigma is customer-deployed: it runs entirely inside your own AWS account and VPC, shipped as a CloudFormation/Terraform template your team applies directly (or in a joint session with Ticking Minds) — not an image or binary handoff. We walk through the full architecture directly with prospects and AWS reviewers on request.
How long does a scoped POC take before we see results?
A typical scoped POC is bounded to one real workflow or release cycle, usually 3–4 weeks, ending in a quantified outcome review mapped to your own release metrics.
What did a recent T-Sigma engagement actually return in measured value?
A recent BFSI POC engagement identified $1.1M+ in gross value with a measured 9.1x ROI. Figures are engagement-specific and shown with client identity withheld pending reference approval; available as a named case study on request.
What does a scoped POC cost, and how soon do we see a quantified outcome?
Engagement moves through four steps: a 30–45 minute technical scoping call, a bounded 3–4 week POC against one workflow, a quantified outcome review, then a commercial decision (direct engagement or, where applicable, a marketplace private offer). Cost is confirmed at scoping, since it depends on workflow scope.
Is pricing a platform license, a services engagement, or both?
T-Sigma is sold as a platform license — Knowledge Base, Test Studio, Attest, or the full Suite. Ticking Minds' Quality Engineering services team can also be engaged directly to accelerate adoption, but the platform is the core commercial offering, not an add-on to services.
Does T-Sigma reduce the number of tools our team operates day to day?
Yes, by design — Knowledge Base, Test Studio, and Attest are one platform rather than three vendors and five dashboards stitched together with a spreadsheet, which is one of T-Sigma's core differentiators.
What's the operational overhead of running T-Sigma inside our own AWS account?
It runs as containerized services on Amazon EKS, scaled independently per customer load, deployed via CloudFormation/Terraform rather than manual console changes, with CloudWatch alarms on error rate, latency, and resource health. Get in touch for the full picture.
What does a scoped POC look like operationally — team involvement, disruption to existing releases?
It's bounded to one real workflow, not a parallel project — the point of scoping it to a single workflow or release cycle is specifically to avoid disrupting the rest of your release calendar.
Is there a documented rollback path if the engagement doesn't proceed past POC?
Yes — a documented teardown script is provided to fully remove all deployed resources from your AWS account at engagement end.
What does a T-Sigma Attest certificate actually certify?
An Attest certificate certifies that a named version of an AI agent, for a named use case, was independently assessed against the Attest Framework during a specific assessment window. It is not a blanket safety claim: scope, evidence, and a re-certification date are stated explicitly, and the certificate voids automatically if the underlying model or prompt changes.
Does an Attest certificate expire if the model or prompt changes?
Yes — it voids automatically the moment the underlying model or prompt changes, since the certification is scoped to a named version, not the agent in general.
Is DPDP Act 2023 alignment a checklist exercise or a built-in testing capability?
Testing and data-handling workflows are validated directly against the enacted DPDP Act 2023 text as a dedicated compliance-testing capability, not a bolt-on checklist added after the fact.
Can an agent fail on safety even if it performs its task well?
Yes — any Tier-2 (safety) dimension failure caps the overall verdict at Conditional, regardless of task-success score. A capable agent that can be manipulated into an unauthorized action does not pass on capability alone.
What audit trail does T-Sigma produce that internal audit and an external regulator would both accept?
Every release carries generated test coverage, a documented regression-impact analysis, and — where agents are involved — an independent, time-boxed Attest certificate, so evidence is produced as a byproduct of normal delivery rather than a special audit-prep exercise.
What would change in board-level risk reporting once T-Sigma is in place?
Management gets a single, defensible answer to “how do we know it works, and how do we know the AI agents behave” from one platform, rather than assembling that answer from five disconnected sources each release cycle.
How established is the vendor behind T-Sigma?
T-Sigma is built by Ticking Minds, which has operated for 14 years, serves 90+ enterprise clients, and works across India, the US, the UK, and Germany.
