Tools like Userdoc (https://userdoc.fyi) help in a few ways, you can easily create requirements (stories, personas, journeys, test cases), but also reverse engineer existing source code into detailed docs, then ask natural language questions etc. AI helps us plan our product in Userdoc, and our devs connect via MCP to bring those requirements directly in to Cursor (full disclaimer, I work at Userdoc - but we eat... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

They also need to be somehow version controlled. There are some people using https://github.com/doorstop-dev/doorstop to record this kind of data in a plaintext (YAML) format and store... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Zooming into "requirements management" (and out of "developing test cases") there's a couple of Open Source projects that address specifically this important branch of software development. I like both approaches and I think they might be used in different situations. By the way, the creators of these two projects are having useful conversations on aspects of their solutions so you might want to try both and see... - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago
