A true end-to-end solution

While streamlining and accelerating software development, testing and quality assurance, CGI NAVI offers enhanced accuracy, speed, collaboration, and security. Its multi-layered AI model allows for client-specific domain and application knowledge training—offering application and technology knowledge through a pretrained layer. For instance, in banking, it can be trained on workflows like KYC/AML compliance, specific transaction processing and regulatory frameworks.

To ensure data security and compliance, especially critical in financial sectors, CGI NAVI offers an on-premise LLM reasoning layer that keeps sensitive data within the client’s environment—preventing exposure to third-party providers. This approach enables us to deliver tailored, accurate and secure AI-driven insights and automation aligned with each industry’s unique requirements.

CGI NAVI’s ability to automate test-case generation and support the entire software development lifecycle delivers measurable business and operational advantages through these features: 

  • Requirements extraction
  • Specification and user story generation
  • Coding assistance 
  • Rich visual modeling 
  • Test case generation
  • Test automation scripts generation
  • Seamless integration with enterprise collaboration and cloud AI services 

Accelerating productivity and time-to-market 

CGI NAVI can drastically reduce the manual effort and time required to generate software specifications, user stories, test cases, and test data. By automating routine tasks and enabling focus on higher-value development and automation activities, this solution can significantly increase the productivity of software engineers. Additionally, enhanced software delivery, bolstered by improved accuracy, security, and compliance in software testing and delivery, can considerably accelerate time-to-market.
