AutomotiveSafety context that travels with the change.

Agents4DevOps applies automotive requirement levels, ASIL context, V-model relationships, safety and cybersecurity reviews, reproducible delivery gates, verification evidence, configuration baselines and release-for-production checks to governed agent workflows in Azure DevOps. Agents keep the work products connected. Your safety and release people decide.

No card required. Your data stays in your Azure DevOps tenant.

[ The engineering reality ]

A generic assistant does not know what an ASIL is.

Automotive delivery runs across systems, software, safety, cybersecurity, quality, suppliers, testing, calibration and release. A generic assistant that writes user stories does not carry ASIL, derived safety requirements, independence, V-model work products, tool confidence, or homologation and software-update evidence. Those are the things assessors ask for, and they are the things that go missing when a requirement changes mid-sprint and the downstream work products are updated by memory.

  • 01

    Safety relevance gets lost in planning.

    A story derived from a technical safety requirement looks like any other item on the board, and its ASIL, hazard links and independence needs fall away.

  • 02

    V-model links break quietly.

    A software requirement is edited, and the architecture, AUTOSAR components, tests and baselines that trace to it are not revisited until an assessment.

  • 03

    Reviews miss the right reviewer.

    A pull request touching safety-relevant code is merged without the independent review or MISRA findings the process requires.

  • 04

    Release evidence is assembled late.

    Baselines, ECOs, SUMS evidence and approvals are gathered by hand in the days before release for production.

[ What the pack configures ]

V-model context in every run.

The Automotive pack sets the classification, relationships, standards mapping and gates the agents work to. Your team picks the triggers and names the approvers.

  1. 01 Classification

    From S, E and C to ASIL

    Item and feature context, Severity, Exposure and Controllability leading to ASIL, QM versus safety-relevant work, cybersecurity assurance and CAL context, component and ECU ownership, and release criticality.

  2. 02 Traceability model

    The full V, left to right

    Item or feature to safety goal, functional safety requirement, technical safety requirement, system and software requirement, architecture and design, implementation, verification evidence and release baseline.

  3. 03 Standards & frameworks

    Mapped to your assessment frameworks

    Automotive SPICE, ISO 26262 functional safety, ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity engineering, AUTOSAR Classic and Adaptive context, MISRA C:2012, UNECE R155/R156, and IATF 16949 where applicable.

  4. 04 Lifecycle gates & evidence

    Gates your assessors look for

    ASPICE work-product readiness, safety and cybersecurity review, independent verification, MISRA, static-analysis and coverage gates, HIL, SIL and MIL evidence, configuration baseline, and release for production.

[ Traceability model ]

The Automotive chain, kept intact.

A safety-relevant requirement changes. The agent flags the architecture link, routes qualified review, and confirms the V is whole again.

  1. Item / feature
  2. Safety goal
  3. FSR / TSR
  4. SW requirement
  5. Architecture
  6. Implementation
  7. Verification
  8. Release baseline
[ Priority workflows ]

Where the agents do the work.

Eight workflows the pack is configured for. Each runs on a trigger your team set and leaves its findings on the work item, PR or pipeline it concerns.

  • Automotive requirement quality

    Formalize requirements with ASPICE and ISO 26262 context, separate the levels, map standards and keep baselines.

    Business Analyst Agent
  • ASIL-aware backlog and change impact

    Carry safety relevance, ownership, dependencies, hazard links, verification and downstream impact through planning.

    Product Owner Agent
  • HARA and risk control support

    Maintain hazards, S/E/C inputs, safety goals, controls, traceability and residual-risk evidence for review.

    Requirements Engineer Agent
  • Safety-aware PR review

    Review code changes for MISRA and security concerns, safety requirement links, independent reviewer needs and test impact.

    DevOps Engineer Agent
  • Reproducible pipeline and tool gate

    Check build configuration, tool versions and confidence, analysis gates, pipeline health and the evidence each one leaves.

    DevOps Engineer Agent
  • Verification and anomaly management

    Generate and maintain tests, triage anomalies with ASIL impact, analyze regression and flaky tests, and link the evidence.

    QA Engineer Agent
  • Configuration and release control

    Maintain baselines, ECOs, as-built and as-designed consistency, release packages, SUMS evidence and approvals.

    Release Manager Agent
  • Traceability and audit evidence

    Audit V-model linkage, generate matrices, list the gaps and assemble review-ready evidence.

    Compliance Officer Agent
[ Agent roles ]

[ Example run ]

A safety-relevant requirement changes.

A systems engineer edits REQ-207, a software requirement derived from a technical safety requirement on the brake ECU. The agent's condition matches and the run starts. It identifies the affected architecture, AUTOSAR components, interfaces, code, tests, hazards, reviewers, baselines and release scope. It finds an interface description that no longer matches and a test case still linked to the old revision. It creates the impact actions, routes the change to the qualified reviewer as an open task, and does not treat the change as complete until it has verified that downstream links and evidence are restored. The full run lands in the Job Explorer.

[ Human responsibility ]

People own the decisions.

Agents apply your classification logic, trace the V, review changes and assemble evidence. Qualified functional-safety, cybersecurity, systems, software, quality and release people stay responsible for ASIL classification, safety decisions, independence, confirmation measures and release approval. Required Approval pauses a run and opens a task for the named reviewer, who can answer, attach files, and approve, edit or reject.

[ FAQ ]

Automotive questions.

It can apply your configured S/E/C logic and prepare a classification. Responsible functional-safety personnel review and approve the result.

It maintains work-product evidence, traceability, findings and readiness in Azure DevOps. It does not replace the assessor or guarantee a capability-level result.

The supplied catalog includes AUTOSAR-aware and MISRA-aware workflows. Exact versions, checks, tool integrations and limits are confirmed during technical validation, so bring your toolchain details to the demo.

Only if you want it to. Trigger conditions use fields, operators and values, for example a change to State on items tagged safety-relevant, so the agent runs only where it matters and spends no credits elsewhere.

Yes. Attach process descriptions, templates and terminology as knowledge, or turn on Bring Your Own Data so the agent retrieves from your documents, queries and wiki pages. Edit instructions in plain English and roll back any version.

No. Agents run inside your Azure DevOps environment on the Copilot4DevOps security and trust model, and your project data is not used to train models.

Credits are $0.01 each, pooled across the organization, with no per-user fees. A rule-shaped gate, such as required safety links on every derived requirement, can run as an Execution Agent at a flat 4 credits. Agents pause cleanly at zero.
