FOR TEAMS THAT BUILD SOFTWARE
Build better software. Start with your own data.
Find missing tests, failed checks, and unclear requirements in your own project. Create a free account and try Tracer with your requirements and test results.
Scanning an export: No account · no sign-in · nothing stored
Already a member? Sign in
Your team owns the tests. Tracer helps you decide what to check, understand failures, and improve the way you deliver software.
How it works
Three steps, using a Jira export you already have. Nothing to install.
-
Bring your Jira export
Export the Jira search for your project as JSON, the complete export rather than one page of it, and paste it or choose the file.
No account, password or API token is sent, and the export is not stored. Read exactly where it goes.
-
See what is covered and what is not
Tracer lists the requirements no test traces to, the tests linked to no requirement, and the records missing a field a status needs, each with the Jira issue behind it. When a status cannot be computed, it says so.
A Jira export carries no test results, so the scan reports no failed checks. Failed checks come from the test results a member team sends to Tracer.
-
Fix it and scan again
Correct the issues in Jira, export again and run the scan. Results live only in your browser tab, so each run reads the export you bring.
One product for the whole delivery team
Tracer is in early access. Members get each capability as it opens and help set the order. See what members can use today.
Tracer helps software teams turn ideas into working software with less manual effort and rework.
It brings quality into planning, design, development, testing, and delivery, using AI to clarify what a change must do, automate repeatable work, and help each team build and maintain fast, reliable tests in its own codebase.
Teams own their tests and release decisions.
Built for the people who answer "are we ready?"
Each role reads the same records at the level it decides at.
Engineering and product leaders
See where each release stands without a status meeting: what is covered, what is at risk, and which records the answer rests on. Decide to ship, hold or fund from one shared view.
Quality and test leads
See which requirements have no test, which tests check nothing anyone asked for, and which failures repeat. Put the next hour of testing where it changes the answer.
Engineers and testers
Get the gap, the failing check and the record behind it in one place. Fix it in the tools you already use; your tests stay in your own codebase.
What Tracer does for your team
Five outcomes, each tied to what Tracer reads from your own tools. Members get each capability as it opens; the Jira-export scan above runs today for anyone.
Status without the meeting
Release readiness, triage lists and team summaries are produced from your requirements, tests and results, not collected by hand each week.
Risk seen while it is cheap to fix
Untested requirements, failing trends and missing fields show up during planning and development, not after release.
Release decisions you can defend
A release check marks each requirement verified, falsified or unknown, in a signed result you can replay later. Forecasts come with a range and say what they assume.
Records accurate enough to act on
Tracer finds the gaps and broken links in your Jira and test records, and withholds a status rather than guessing past them.
Testing spend you can account for
See which tests protect a requirement and which check nothing anyone asked for, so testing budget and hiring decisions rest on your own records. AI helps clarify what a change must do and draft checks your team reviews and keeps.
Works with the tools you have
Reads Jira, plus test results in the open formats your pipelines already write (JUnit XML, CTRF, OpenTelemetry as OTLP/JSON), through a key your organization controls.
Coming next, by role
None of this runs today. Each month is a target for when a feature is tested and when its beta opens; if a target moves, it moves here first.
Business process owners and subject-matter experts
You are asked to accept a software change to a process you run, from a ticket list you cannot read, with no record of which real cases were checked.
A plain-language change brief
One page that says what the change does to your process, in business words, readable without a Jira account.
Target: tested December 2026, beta January 2027
Your own operating cases
Add the real cases you care about and see, for each one, whether it was checked, not checked, or unknown.
Target: tested December 2026, beta January 2027
A scoped acceptance record
Accept the change for the cases that were checked, name what was not, and keep a dated record of the decision and who made it.
Target: tested January 2027, beta February 2027
Business-rule questions by email
Questions about how a business rule should behave go to the named expert by email, and the answer is written back to the ticket.
Target: tested January 2027, beta February 2027
After rollout, one process measure
Compare one measure you choose, such as rework or turnaround, with its baseline after the change goes live.
Target: tested February 2027, beta March 2027
Product strategist
Features keep shipping while customer value and the next product choice remain unclear.
Outcome hypotheses with discovery evidence
Frame one user problem, the outcome you want to measure and the discovery evidence that could support or disprove it.
Target: tested January 2027, beta February 2027
Comparable adoption measures
Review one authorized measure with its baseline, population, period and source; see when a comparison is missing or not comparable.
Target: tested February 2027, beta March 2027
Released changes and outcome reviews
Trace a change that reached users to the observed product measure, keeping deployment, adoption and customer value separate.
Target: tested March 2027, beta April 2027
Product decisions with learning
Record why you continue, change, stop or investigate an investment, the decision owner and the evidence to revisit.
Target: tested March 2027, beta April 2027
Test automation engineers, QA analysts and specialist testers
You need to explain a failure, but the expected behavior, test environment and first failed attempt are scattered across tools.
Reconstruct a failed check
Bring together references to the expected behavior, revision, environment and first failure, then review a reproducible defect handoff.
Target: tested January 2027, beta February 2027
Keep exploratory observations
Record a focused exploration against a business example, including what you checked, what was blocked and which questions remain unanswered.
Target: tested February 2027, beta March 2027
Keep specialist test conditions
Read performance, accessibility or resilience findings alongside their criteria, workload or operating conditions, and manual-review limits.
Target: tested March 2027, beta April 2027
Portfolio and delivery coordinators
You assemble status across projects, but cannot tell whether another team has accepted a dependency or which decision is holding up the outcome.
Dependencies accepted by both teams
See the requesting and supplying owners, the needed-by date and whether both teams have agreed; missing or changed agreements stay visible.
Target: tested January 2027, beta February 2027
Pending decisions and their owners
Follow each unresolved dependency to its decision, the person authorized to make it and the next review date, using the existing source record.
Target: tested February 2027, beta March 2027
A weekly delivery evidence brief
Read progress, unresolved dependencies and pending decisions for one outcome, with source dates and missing evidence shown alongside them.
Target: tested March 2027, beta April 2027
Heads of quality, quality managers and test leads
You are asked whether a release is ready, and a green test count cannot show which critical journeys were checked on this version, what was left out, or how old that evidence is.
Readiness for each critical journey
For one journey you name, whether each requirement in it is verified, falsified or unknown on this exact version, with what was left out and how old each piece of evidence is.
Target: tested January 2027, beta February 2027
Gaps ranked by business risk
Unverified journeys ordered by the business risk you assign them, each with a named owner, so the first gap to close is the one that matters most.
Target: tested February 2027, beta March 2027
A readiness recommendation you can publish
A fixed record of your release recommendation, pinned to the version it describes, that stakeholders can read without a Tracer account through a link that expires. It is a recommendation, not a release approval.
Target: tested March 2027, beta April 2027
Trace an escaped failure back
When a failure reaches users, record it by hand or from a file and see what your recommendation said about that journey: missed, a known gap, or a risk someone accepted.
Target: tested April 2027, beta May 2027
Architects
You need to connect a business need and its quality constraints to a cross-system change, but the design decisions and dependency assumptions are scattered.
Service boundaries and interface owners
Follow one business need across the service boundaries and interfaces you supply, with a named owner and source for each.
Target: tested January 2027, beta February 2027
Design decisions with named authority
Read the alternatives, affected services, owner and expiry behind a design decision or exception, with missing authority marked.
Target: tested February 2027, beta March 2027

Target: tested March 2027, beta April 2027
Change impact for one revision
Review the declared services, interfaces, decisions and evidence gaps for one candidate revision, with stale or unknown information marked.
Target: tested April 2027, beta May 2027
Developers and technical leads
You pick up a code change or review a risky one while its requirements, design decisions and verification evidence are scattered across tools.
Requirements, decisions and dependencies
Find the accepted examples, design decisions and declared dependencies for one code change, with source references and visible gaps.
Target: tested January 2027, beta February 2027
Reviews tied to the current revision
See which reviews and checks match the code revision being reviewed, and which are missing, failed or stale.
Target: tested February 2027, beta March 2027
A regression handoff with its evidence
Read the expected behavior and failing-check references for a regression, with the revision and the checks still missing.
Target: tested March 2027, beta April 2027
Clarification and review requests
Prepare a question or review request for the named owner in the existing team workflow, with acknowledgement and response references.
Target: tested April 2027, beta May 2027
CIOs, CTOs and engineering leaders who sponsor technology investment
Before a portfolio review or after a missed commitment, you wait for a status report compiled from several teams, and the reports disagree, so risk and investment are hard to compare.
One concern on one page
Pick one portfolio concern and read the business outcome at stake, the delivery constraint and the open risk, with every line naming its source and how current it is.
Target: tested January 2027, beta February 2027
Reports that disagree, side by side
Where a team update and the work record say different things about the same work, see both readings and who owns each, instead of one quietly overwriting the other.
Target: tested February 2027, beta March 2027
A comparison that says when it does not hold
Compare two investment candidates on the same measure, and be told plainly when they were measured differently and cannot be compared.
Target: tested March 2027, beta April 2027
A decision request with a named owner
Ask for an investment or constraint decision from the page, with its owner, due date and evidence recorded in Jira, so you can see how long the decision took.
Target: tested March 2027, beta April 2027
Internal and IT auditors
You are asked to test a delivery control from a package someone else assembled, and its summary does not show which record, person, revision or time each fact came from.
Audit-only read access
Read one organization's evidence for one audit period, with access that ends on its own date and a log of every record you opened.
Target: tested January 2027, beta February 2027
The source behind every fact
For a sampled change, see the control it was tested against, the source record, who acted, the revision, the time and any exceptions, each marked as read from the source or worked out by Tracer.
Target: tested January 2027, beta February 2027
A sample you can redraw
List every change in a past period as it stood then, with each excluded record counted and explained, and draw a sample that the same inputs always return.
Target: tested February 2027, beta March 2027
An export you check yourself
Take the sample into your own workpapers as a signed file and confirm offline, without asking Tracer, that no item has changed.
Target: tested February 2027, beta March 2027
Your conclusion, kept separate
Record a conclusion for each sampled item that the audited team can answer but cannot edit.
Target: tested March 2027, beta April 2027
Security, privacy and vendor-risk reviewers
You are asked to approve a tool or a change from a summary that leaves out what data it reads, what is still exposed, and who actually accepted the risk.
What Tracer reads and keeps
A public statement of each record Tracer reads, what it stores, for how long, and who can see it, each line backed by an automated check.
Target: tested January 2027, beta February 2027
A data review before the first import
Before any records are imported, see which fields each connection would read and which may hold personal information, and keep a dated approval by the data owner.
Target: tested February 2027, beta March 2027
Open security findings on the release decision
Findings from the scanners you already run appear on the release they affect, with the affected service, its owner and how long it has been open.
Target: tested March 2027, beta April 2027
Exceptions with an owner and an end date
An exception names the person allowed to accept the risk and its end date; when it lapses, the finding is open again on the next release.
Target: tested April 2027, beta May 2027
Engineering managers and directors
Your teams look busy and changes still arrive late, and a count of finished tickets does not show where work sat waiting, what it waited on, or how much of the week went to work nobody planned.
Waiting time and working time, by stage
From a Jira export or a read-only connection, see for each finished change how long it was worked and how long it sat waiting in each stage, with unknown time shown as unknown.
Target: tested January 2027, beta February 2027
The pull request queue
Open pull requests by age and by what each one is waiting for: a first review, a reply to review, a check, or a merge.
Target: tested February 2027, beta March 2027
Blocked work and what it waits on
Work marked blocked, by how long it has been blocked and what it is waiting on, such as another team, a decision or an environment.
Target: tested February 2027, beta March 2027
Unplanned work, counted apart
Work that arrived after the sprint or plan started is shown separately from planned work, so interruptions are visible instead of hidden in the total.
Target: tested March 2027, beta April 2027
One change to a queue, tested
Record one change to how a queue works, then compare waiting time later on the same definitions, with the normal week-to-week noise shown. Teams are never ranked and no one is scored by name.
Target: tested April 2027, beta May 2027
Platform, delivery and reliability engineers
When a deployment fails or an incident opens, you rebuild by hand, across three or four tools that name the service differently, which change is running and what was checked on it.
One map of service names
A small file in your own repository that says which names in each tool mean the same service, which revision identifier each tool uses, and who owns it.
Target: tested January 2027, beta February 2027
Read-only deployment and incident import
Bring in deployment and incident records as metadata only, with nothing written back; an import that fails says so instead of looking empty.
Target: tested February 2027, beta March 2027
Trace one production revision
One page from the merge to the artifact, the checks run on that exact artifact, each deployment by environment and the incidents that name it, with how sure each link is.
Target: tested March 2027, beta April 2027
Pipeline wait and template changes
Queue and run time per pipeline each week, and a notice when a shared pipeline template changes which checks run.
Target: tested March 2027, beta April 2027
What changed before an incident
Every change deployed to the service in the hours before an incident, in time order, with no guess at the cause.
Target: tested April 2027, beta May 2027
Jira and work management administrators
You are asked to connect another tool to Jira without knowing what it will read or change, and every tool that adds its own fields or statuses leaves you a mess to clean up.
Know what Tracer touches before you connect it
One page that lists what Tracer will read, what it will never write, and what it would need you to change in Jira, for you and your approver to sign off.
Target: tested January 2027, beta February 2027
A health check from a Jira export
Upload an export and see duplicate fields, statuses that say done when the work is not, and other settings that make reports wrong, before anything is connected.
Target: tested January 2027, beta February 2027
Confirm how your fields and statuses are read
See how Tracer reads each field and status in a small sample and correct it in Tracer, without adding a field, status or workflow to Jira.
Target: tested February 2027, beta March 2027
Check a sample of records end to end
Pick a few Jira records and see, field by field, whether Tracer's findings still match them and when each was last checked.
Target: tested March 2027, beta April 2027
A receipt for access, and proof it ends
See every read Tracer made with the access you granted, and a dated record that revoking access stopped the reads and removed the links and findings Tracer kept.
Target: tested April 2027, beta May 2027
Product owners and business analysts
An untested hypothesis: engineers and testers may struggle to agree on a backlog item when rules, acceptance examples and unanswered decisions sit in different records.
Rules and acceptance examples together
Read one item with its current rule references, passing and failing examples, exceptions, and the gaps still unanswered.
Target: tested January 2027, beta February 2027
Questions with a decision owner
See which business decisions are still unanswered, who can answer them, and how long each question has waited.
Target: tested February 2027, beta March 2027
Review when acceptance examples change
See which linked examples and checks need another review after a rule changes, with older results kept separate from current evidence.
Target: tested March 2027, beta April 2027
