Executable specifications translate domain logic into human-readable fixtures that validate behavior against implementations. You write fixtures in domain language, run a lightweight parser to discover them, and verify that code satisfies the defined business rules.

Approval-driven validation is a review loop where executable specs are approved only when the implementation matches expectations. It produces human-friendly diffs for review, ensuring documented requirements stay drift-free and synchronized with the actual codebase behavior.

Drift-free requirements are maintained by running behavior-driven development fixtures as executable domain specs. When implementations change, the validation workflow detects mismatches against the domain-language examples, ensuring requirements and code stay in sync across systems.

Yes, you can verify complex business rules using a lightweight parser and a simple fixture format. Stakeholders write domain-language examples as fixtures, and the minimal tooling pipeline runs validations against the implementation without requiring heavy BDD frameworks.

The best way to validate specifications against implementations is organizing behavior definitions as machine-readable fixtures. A lightweight pipeline discovers these fixtures, runs verification checks, and generates human-friendly diffs so teams can review and approve the results.

You need executable domain specifications when a feature has complex domain rules requiring stakeholder alignment. Capturing business rules as executable fixtures lets you validate behavior before coding and ensures documented requirements remain synchronized with the implementation as it evolves.
