Use cases

StrictDoc is used across a broad range of industries and project types.

Agile software teams

Teams that want requirements to live alongside code, reviewed in pull requests, and traced to tests.

AI-based development

StrictDoc enables teams to write structured specifications for AI-assisted development. AI can use these specifications to implement and evolve software while preserving traceability between requirements, implementation, tests, and other engineering artifacts.

Interface between systems and software

Software systems engineering encompasses the activities required to define and prepare software before implementation begins. This includes defining system, high-level, and low-level requirements, developing the software architecture and design, and planning verification and validation activities.

StrictDoc bridges software systems engineering and software development by connecting system-level artifacts with implementation artifacts such as source code, test cases, test reports, coverage reports, and other engineering evidence. This end-to-end traceability provides a consistent view of the entire software lifecycle, from requirements and architecture to implementation, verification, and validation.

Safety- and security-critical development

Projects operating under standards such as DO-178C (airborne software), ECSS (European space standards), IEC 62443 (industrial cybersecurity), and similar frameworks need documented traceability between requirements, design, implementation, and verification.

Technical documentation projects

Teams managing large bodies of technical documentation who need a structured, searchable, versionable system that generates multiple output formats from a single source.

Open source projects

StrictDoc itself is documented with StrictDoc. Open source projects can use it to maintain public-facing specifications and link them to source code and test coverage.

University and research projects

StrictDoc is used by R&D groups, student associations, and academic project teams.
