StrictDoc

StrictDoc is software for writing technical requirements and specifications.

Summary of StrictDoc features:

  • The documentation files are stored as human-readable text files.
  • A simple domain-specific language DSL is used for writing the documents. The text format for encoding this language is called SDoc (strict-doc).
  • StrictDoc reads *.sdoc files and builds an in-memory representation of the document tree.
  • From this in-memory representation, StrictDoc can generate the documentation into a number of formats including HTML, RST, PDF, Excel.
  • The focus of the tool is modeling requirements and specifications documents. Such documents consist of multiple statements like "system X shall do Y" called requirements.
  • The requirements can be linked together to form the relationships, such as "parent-child", and from these connections, many useful features, such as Requirements Traceability and Documentation Coverage, can be derived.
  • Good performance of the textX parser and parallelized incremental generation of documents: generation of document trees with up to 2000-3000 requirements into HTML pages stays within a few seconds. From the second run, only changed documents are regenerated. Further performance tuning should be possible.

Warning: The StrictDoc project is alpha quality. See the Roadmap section to get an idea of the overall project direction.

The documentation is hosted on Read the Docs: StrictDoc documentation.
