Catch requirement drift before it ships

Requirements move after the tests are written. A story you covered last sprint quietly gains a new acceptance criterion, a threshold changes from eight to twelve, a rule is added about locking accounts. The code usually catches up. The tests often do not, because nobody told the person who owns them. That silent gap between what the story now says and what the suite still checks is where regressions slip through, and closing it is what Axon AI does by watching your work items for you.

Axon watches the work items, so you do not have to

Connect your Jira or Azure DevOps project and Axon keeps an eye on the stories you care about. When an acceptance criterion changes, it notices, whether a line was added, reworded, or removed. You do not have to diff tickets by hand or hope someone mentions it in standup. The watch runs continuously, so drift is caught close to when it happens rather than discovered during a release scramble.

You see exactly what changed

A vague notice that something is different is useless. Axon shows the actual diff: which criteria were added, which were changed and from what to what, and which were removed. Seeing the change in the acceptance criteria, in plain terms, lets you judge in seconds whether it touches something the current tests cover or opens a gap that needs new ones.

• Added criteria, flagged as coverage you probably do not have yet.
• Changed criteria, shown as the old wording next to the new.
• Removed criteria, so you can retire the cases that no longer apply.
• The story and the tests that trace to it, side by side, so the impact is clear.

Everyone on the project is prompted, not just one owner

Drift is a team problem, so the prompt goes to the team. Every member of the project is notified when a watched story's criteria change, rather than a single owner who might be on leave. That means the developer who made the change, the tester who owns the cases, and the product manager who wrote the story all see the same diff and can act on it. Nothing waits on one person happening to notice.

One click turns the change into suggested tests

Spotting drift is only useful if closing it is easy. From the notification, one click has Axon generate suggested test cases for exactly what changed, grounded in the new criteria and the rest of your project context rather than the whole story from scratch. You review the suggestions the way you would any generated cases, keep the ones that fit, and your coverage catches up to the requirement before the change ships instead of after it breaks.

Requirement drift is not a tooling failure, it is just how real projects work: stories evolve and tests lag behind. The fix is to make the lag visible and cheap to close. Axon watches the criteria, shows everyone the diff the moment it changes, and turns that diff into suggested tests in a click, so the gap between what you promised and what you check never gets the chance to reach production.
