Install the Arcus plugin for GitHub Copilot so that your coding context is captured and sent to QI Home for test generation.

\n

When the plugin is installed and connected to a project, Atto captures your prompts, tool calls, and file changes as you work. When you are done, you push the context to QI Home with a single command. QA maps the context to the right sprint, and Atto generates test cases based on your development activity.

\n
NOTE:

This doc refers to the GitHub Copilot CLI plugin for Arcus, not Testsigma Copilot (the test execution feature). They are separate tools.

Prerequisites

\n

Before you begin, ensure that:

\n\n
\n
\n

Install the Plugin

\n
NOTE:

The install command for the GitHub Copilot Arcus plugin is pending confirmation from the dev team. This step will be updated before publication.

\n
\n

Log In and Connect Your Project

\n
    \n
  1. In GitHub Copilot, run /arcus:login.
    2. \n
  2. Complete the login flow in the browser. Return to GitHub Copilot when prompted.
    3. \n
  3. Run /arcus:project <project-id> to connect the plugin to your Arcus project. Replace <project-id> with your project ID from Arcus > Settings > Project.
    4. \n
  4. Start coding. The plugin begins capturing your context in the background.
    5. \n
\n
NOTE:

No data is sent to Arcus until you run /arcus:push. Logging in and setting your project does not start any upload.

\n
\n

Map Your Context to a Sprint

\n

Run /arcus:map <ticket-key> at any point before pushing to link your context to a sprint story.

\n
/arcus:map PROJ-123
\n

Running /arcus:map before pushing means your context arrives in QI Home already mapped to the correct sprint. QA does not need to route it manually from Unmapped Context.

\n
NOTE:

You can push without mapping. The context lands in Unmapped Context and QA maps it from there. See Map Developer Context.

\n
\n

Push Your Context

\n
    \n
  1. When you are done, run /arcus:push to upload the captured context to QI Home.
    2. \n
\n

The context appears in QI Home under Unmapped Context (if you did not run /arcus:map) or under the mapped sprint (if you did).
