FAQPage Schema
How do I validate SDLC compliance for a development task before merging code?

You validate SDLC compliance by verifying the presence and quality of required artifacts including SDD, TDD tests, implementation, Devin Review, and guardrail gate passage, producing a formal compliance report for the audit trail.

What is an SDLC compliance audit trail and when do I need it?

An SDLC compliance audit trail is a formal record proving a development task completed all required lifecycle phases. You need it to prevent incomplete or non-compliant code from being merged in enterprise environments.

How do I enforce DevOps guardrails and generate a compliance certificate?

You enforce DevOps guardrails by automatically checking the development task against all 10 DevinClaw Hard Gates for security and quality adherence, which then generates an optional SDLC completion certificate for enterprise audits.

Does this SDLC validation process check test coverage and security scans?

Yes, SDLC validation automatically checks that all tests passed, security scans are clean, and code coverage requirements are met alongside verifying the Software Design Document and knowledge base updates.

Can I use this to verify knowledge base updates as part of software governance?

Yes, you can use this for software governance because it explicitly verifies the presence and quality of knowledge base updates as a required phase of the full Software Development Lifecycle loop.
