Key Terms & Concepts
Definitions of key terms and concepts used throughout the Zof platform.
System Graph
A real-time, intelligent model of your software architecture that maps services, APIs, dependencies, workflows, and data paths. The System Graph provides context for all agent validation.
Verification system
An AI agent with deep domain expertise for a specific validation category (e.g., security, performance, accessibility). Each agent has limited scope and high precision.
Autonomous Mode
Execution mode where Zof validates the entire system with all applicable agents automatically, triggered by events or schedules.
Manual Mode
Execution mode where users target specific agents or workflows for focused validation and analysis.
Custom Agent
A proprietary agent integrated into the Zof platform. Custom agents receive System Graph context, workflow orchestration, and execution engine capabilities.
Workflow Engine
The orchestration layer that coordinates multi-agent validation, managing execution order, dependencies, and result aggregation.
Execution Engine
The infrastructure layer that distributes workloads, monitors execution, handles retries, and correlates results across agents.
Validation Category
One of 19 verification domains (for example Security, API, Load, Accessibility). Each domain is covered by purpose-built verification systems and deterministic tools, with results recorded as evidence.
Repair Agent
An AI agent that analyzes issues, suggests fixes, and can autonomously attempt repairs, then re-validates until resolved.
Application Studio
Dashboard view for mapping and visualizing your system architecture and building the System Graph.
Specification Studio
Dashboard view for parsing requirements documents and extracting testable specifications.
Root Cause Analysis
Agent-driven analysis that identifies the underlying cause of issues using System Graph context.
