SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Verify that changes are actually correct before declaring completion, reducing post-release surprises and wasted effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Identify the exact behavior that must be proven for a change to be considered complete.
  • Prefer existing tests first and leverage builds and type checks to gather evidence.
  • If coverage is missing, outline the narrowest direct verification commands and document manual validation steps.

Quick Start

Provide a concrete, testable verification plan for the latest change and report the exact results.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a verification plan for code changes before declaring completion?

A verification plan identifies the exact behavior to prove for a change, leverages existing tests and builds to gather evidence, and outlines manual validation steps to prevent post-release surprises.

What is the best way to verify code changes without writing new tests?

To verify changes without new tests, apply a verification workflow that gathers evidence from existing tests, builds, and type checks, documenting manual validation steps only if coverage is missing.

How do I gather evidence to prove a software change is correct?

Gather evidence for software verification by running existing tests, builds, and type checks to prove the exact behavior, framing any failures clearly to validate the change before completion.

When do I need to outline manual validation steps for quality assurance?

Manual validation steps are needed for quality assurance when existing test coverage is missing, allowing you to run the narrowest direct verification commands and document the results as evidence.

Does this verification workflow support build and type check evidence reporting?

Yes, the verification workflow supports build and type check evidence reporting by applying validation across existing tests and builds to produce clear evidence and frame failures explicitly.

Why does framing failures explicitly matter in a verification plan?

Framing failures explicitly in a verification plan matters because it provides clear evidence of unmet requirements, reducing wasted effort and post-release surprises by proving exact behavior before completion.
