dev-lifecycle

To enforce a structured development lifecycle, you can use a phased workflow tool that mandates sequential progression through analysis, design, planning, implementation, verification, and commit phases. This prevents skipping critical steps and ensures comprehensive documentation.

You can manage Gherkin feature files and specifications by integrating with specification management tools like Doorstop and Spec-Weaver. This allows you to structure requirements (REQ), specifications (SPEC), and extended documentation types throughout the development phases.

The best way to automate workflow phases is to implement a strict 6-phase process governing your entire development lifecycle. This guides you from initial analysis through final commits, ensuring proper task planning and adherence to development standards.

Yes, the development lifecycle workflow supports extended documentation types including DESIGN, PLAN, ADR (Architecture Decision Records), and RESEARCH. These are managed alongside standard specifications and Gherkin feature files during the design and planning phases.

Yes, Doorstop and Spec-Weaver are required dependencies for specification management within this lifecycle. They handle the structured tracking of requirements, specifications, and feature files across the different development phases.

The workflow enforces sequential progression through analysis and design phases to prevent skipping critical steps in the development lifecycle. This ensures comprehensive documentation is created and development standards are adhered to before implementation begins.
