DevSpec - Manage requirements & requirement-Driven development

TechExcel DevSpec provides development organizations with a framework for creating, organizing, and managing software requirements and specifications. The tool delivers visibility, traceability, and validation throughout the requirements process. DevSpec is a high-end requirements management tool with advanced functions and features such as Word and PDF import, Outlook and Windows Explorer integration, knowledge management, an integrated enterprise Wiki, and many other top-tier features. DevSpec is unique for its ability to quantify a set of requirements, and use these quantified requirements (called specifications) to drive development and testing.

DevSpec 3.0 allows teams to collaborate as they define and manage requirements, specifications, stories, and other artifacts. These artifacts can be edited in a familiar, easy to use Wiki interface by multiple team members. While users enjoy this simple editing view, there is a highly configurable process engine behind every action they perform. This gives DevSpec the ability to enforce a workflow, manage security roles, and track custom attributes for each item.
