With Appian AI Copilot, developers can:

Tip:  AI Copilot for Developers handles single-action tasks like generating test cases, sample data, and interface suggestions. If you need AI that plans and executes multi-step changes across multiple design objects, use Composer instead.

Note:  AI tools are primarily designed for language-based tasks, such as generating text, answering questions, or providing insights. While AI Copilot for data fabric can assist with obtaining numerical answers, other AI Copilot tools are not optimized for performing precise mathematical calculations or for scenarios that require numerical accuracy.

Generate test cases for expression rules

Testing is the cornerstone of exceptional applications. Appian AI Copilot helps to elevate your expression rule testing using AI-created test cases. Perfect for unit testing, this capability automatically generates test cases and proposes new scenarios for you to consider, saving you valuable time.

AI Copilot generates test cases using specific details from your expression rule, including:

  • The rule's name
  • The rule's description
  • Full definition with comments
  • Rule inputs
  • Any existing test cases to avoid duplicates.

While Appian AI Copilot does not possess the same in-depth understanding of the application as you do, it is designed to identify potential edge cases that may not be immediately obvious. These include scenarios involving null values or unusually large or small data inputs. You can discard suggestions you find irrelevant and refine the rest, just like you would with your own test cases.
