Kintova Vigil · Autonomous Quality Engine

Quality that keeps up with AI-speed development.

Vigil watches your delivery process through the tools you already use and acts the moment quality is at risk, before it reaches production.

Trusted by QA teams across South Africa

Development got faster.
Verification did not.

AI coding, faster sprints, and complex systems created a widening gap between how fast we build and how well we verify.

Without Vigil

  • Manual test creation takes days
  • Stale automation and blind spots
  • Release confidence is guessed
  • Evidence is assembled too late
  • Incidents reach production

With Vigil

  • Tests generated in minutes
  • Coverage map with no blind spots
  • Release confidence is evidence-based
  • Compliance evidence, always ready
  • Issues prevented before production

Three parts. One quality engine.

Vigil is the engine we deploy for every client. The engine watches, the policy governs, and the Cockpit keeps your team in command.

01

The Engine
watches signals

Vigil connects to your tools and continuously watches requirements, code, tests, releases, and production for quality signals.

The Policy
governs actions

Your version-controlled quality policy decides what matters, what to check, and when to act.

if release.has_open_critical_incident: decision = HOLD elif coverage.evidence_missing: decision = NEEDS_REVIEW elif all_checks_passed: decision = READY
03

The Cockpit keeps
humans in command

Humans review, approve, and tune. Vigil takes action within your guardrails, never outside them.

The numbers that
matter.

Test creation

Before Your team writes tests for 2-5 days per story Vigil Generated and validated in 30-90 minutes

Regression

Before 3-5 days of queued regression before every release Vigil Runs on every PR, in minutes

Evidence

Before Assembled manually, a week per audit Vigil Generated continuously, packaged in under 5 minutes

Coverage

Before Decays as the codebase grows Vigil Compounds as delivery happens

Quality checks at
every stage.

Vigil operates across your entire delivery process, not just at the end. Pick a stage to see what the engine does when that signal arrives.

▶ story KINT-1247 created

Vigil reads every new story and flags gaps before development starts, while fixing them is still cheap.

  • Acceptance criteria parsed
  • 2 edge cases missing: daily limit, suspended account
  • 1 untestable criterion flagged
  • Review comment drafted for the product owner

Start with what
you have.

You do not need a perfect QA setup to deploy Vigil. We connect it to your existing tools, scan your actual systems, and build from where you are today. Every stage below is the same engine doing more of the work, not a new project each time.

Prove it

Orchestration Sprint

We deploy Vigil on one service and run the full workflow in front of you. Its agents generate tests, heal stale specs, and produce a release confidence report, while you watch it all happen live in the Cockpit.

Scale it

Full Deployment

All six capabilities live across your services. Quality policy configured. Connectors integrated. Your team trained on the Cockpit. Coverage compounds from here.

Keep growing

Vigil Subscription

Your Vigil deployment as an ongoing service: the engine licence plus governance, covering policy refinement, new service onboarding, quality trend reporting, and quarterly reviews. A dedicated quality partner, not a vendor you hear from once a year.

What makes us
different.

A few things about how Vigil is built, and how we work, that we think matter.

Works with your existing tools

No rip-and-replace. Vigil reads the delivery signals your team already produces in Jira, GitHub, Azure DevOps, Xray, Playwright, and Slack.

kintova.policy.yaml

Governed by your policy

Every action the engine takes follows version-controlled quality rules that your QA lead owns. Nothing happens outside them.

evidence/KINT-1247.json

Evidence built in

Every decision carries a trace from requirement to test to result. POPIA, PCI-DSS, FSCA, and SARB evidence is generated with every run, not assembled before the audit.

release_gate: blocking

Built for regulated teams

Banking, automotive, telecoms, insurance: systems where a missed bug means a payment does not land. Vigil speaks the ISTQB® vocabulary your certified testers already use, and every finding cites the testing principle it applies.

policy: risk_areas

Quality knowledge that stays

When your senior QA engineer leaves, their knowledge of edge cases and risky areas normally leaves too. Vigil encodes it into the policy, available to every agent and every team member, permanently.

About us

About us.

Kintova started because we spent years inside enterprise QA teams and kept watching the same pattern:

Development accelerated.

AI coding tools made it faster still.

Testing stayed manual.

Release decisions became harder to trust.

So we built Vigil: an autonomous quality engine that watches the delivery process and acts the moment quality is at risk. Over eleven years of quality engineering across banking, automotive, telecommunications, and insurance in South Africa went into designing it.

Bring us your
QA headache.

Tell us where quality slows you down: stale tests, release risk, manual evidence, low coverage. We will show you what Vigil finds in your stack. No slides, no pressure.
