For hardware test & systems teams

Requirements and test data, linked at agent speed.

Tensol ties each requirement to the test case, run, and channel that verifies it - and when anything changes, traces what it broke: stale evidence flagged, coverage recomputed, re-runs queued. No status fields. No spreadsheet before the review.

computing coverage from 61 runs…31 pass only on rigs below the level they require. A unit-level pass is not evidence for a subsystem-level requirement

Every requirement in Project Kestrel, rolled up by the subsystem it constrains. Computed from 61 runs across 4 benches, not from a field anyone maintains by hand.

Reviews expose the evidence gaps.

review

1 week

before every gate

The week before every design review: rebuilding the “which requirements did we actually verify” spreadsheet by hand.

debug

1 day

per failed run

A test fails Friday. Monday is spent digging through logs on three rig PCs to find when it started.

ingest

3 formats

before you can start

NI on one bench, UEI DAQ on another, .csv from a third. Every debug starts with format archaeology.

Every change, traced to what it touches.

Tensol recomputes the blast radius and names exactly what must be reviewed again.

Nobody filed a ticket. Nobody told the test team. The requirement simply says something different now.

Tensol saw the edit0.0 s

One line changes

A limit tightens by 50 ms in the requirements tool. On its own, that edit tells no one anything.

rev 5 · 6 children240 ms

The limit moved down. Every child that inherits it is unproven again, and any case asserting 250 is now asserting the wrong thing.

Five of six children inherit the tightened limit. Two cases assert the old value and must be re-authored.

The agent walks what it touches

Down the decomposition, across the test cases, back through every run already on disk, re-scored against the value that just changed.

The blast radius, itemised

What lost its evidence, which sign-offs went stale, which sub-components are in scope - and, just as usefully, which are not.

Enterprise controls for the hardware system of record.

Protect the engineering record with reviewable controls and permission-scoped agents built for regulated programs.

Built for regulated engineering.

Requirements, system changes, test evidence, and approvals stay connected in one reviewable source of truth.

Engineering record
Requirements through sign-off
Traceability

Evidence / ownership / review

Controls for regulated programs

Evidence collection follows defined ownership, change history, and review controls without losing its engineering context.

Scoped access / traceable actions

Permission-scoped agents

Agents act only within granted permissions, and every action stays traceable to its source record and workflow.

Certification evidence stays current.

As the design evolves, Tensol continuously regenerates the evidence trail and exposes anything that needs fresh review.
