How SDD works
SDD links requirements, specifications, issues, and tests in a traceability chain that can be reviewed at any stage.
1. Capture
Capture requirements with explicit rationale and acceptance intent.
2. Specify
Generate or author specifications linked to requirement context.
3. Implement
Track issue lifecycle and evidence from implementation to review.
4. Prove
Export traceability matrices and release documentation for audits.
Traceability chain
Requirement -> Specification -> Issue -> Test Case -> Test Run -> Evidence
