Integration Patterns

Connecting AI testing to your ecosystem

Module 18 illustration

"Dear Marilyn,

We have CI/CD, Jira, Slack, and a dozen other tools. How does AI testing fit into this mess?

— Integration Nightmare"

Marilyn Responds:

AI testing doesn't replace your toolchain—it enhances it. The key is integration, not isolation.

GRACE systems connect to your existing tools: pulling requirements from Jira, triggering from CI/CD, reporting to Slack, updating dashboards.

Good integration is invisible. It just works.

Integration Points

Common integration patterns:

  • Source Integration — Requirements from Jira, Confluence, etc.
  • Trigger Integration — CI/CD pipelines, webhooks, schedules
  • Output Integration — Reports to dashboards, alerts to Slack
  • Feedback Integration — Bug tracking, developer notifications
