Verifying software requirements against source code involves cross-checking functional and non-functional requirements with implementation details to identify mismatches. This process audits APIs, architecture docs, and protocol behavior to resolve inconsistencies before they cause maintenance issues.

Documentation drift occurs when project metadata, architecture docs, and API listings become inconsistent with the actual codebase. Preventing it requires comparing product requirements and implementation behavior to identify and resolve mismatches before they create confusion.

Auditing public API listings to match the implementation involves cross-checking exported interfaces and behavior against source code. This API verification validates status markers, coverage details, and implementation evidence to keep listings consistent with the codebase.

Validating protocol alignment across multiple project files requires checking interfaces and implementation behavior against the defined protocol requirements. This protocol validation identifies inconsistencies and verifies status markers and coverage details across the source code.

Performing a code audit for requirements verification does require access to project documentation and code files. These inputs are necessary to validate functional requirements, implementation status, and generated summaries against the actual source code.
