Specifications that test themselves, before the PR ever opens.
Spectrace turns rough drafts into living requirements, generates the test cases that prove them, and verifies every pull request against the spec it claims to fulfill — before a human gets paged.
AI requirement extraction
Drop in a brief, doc, recording or chat thread. Spectrace lifts the requirements, drafts acceptance criteria, flags ambiguities, and gives you something to argue with.
- ·Docs, URLs, audio, chat
- ·Auto AC + edge cases
- ·Clarifying questions inline
Test cases written before code
Every approved requirement gets Gherkin test cases generated against its ACs. Engineers see what "done" looks like before they open the editor.
- ·Playwright + Vitest
- ·Per-AC coverage
- ·Regen on AC edit
Pre-merge PR verification
When a PR opens, Spectrace reads the diff against the spec it claims to fulfill and posts a verdict before review. No more "works for me" merges.
- ·Per-AC fit score
- ·Inline diff annotations
- ·Block-on-fail option
Two-way sync with Jira & Linear
Requirements live in Spectrace; tickets stay where your team operates. Mirrors stay in lockstep with rename, move, and close events.
- ·Linear · Jira · Azure
- ·Stage mapping
- ·No duplicate sources of truth
Approvals + review center
Define who has to sign off, and what triggers a re-review. AC changes after approval get flagged and routed automatically — no quiet drift.
- ·Role + stage rules
- ·AC-change re-review
- ·Inline thread per AC
Cost-avoided analytics
Every prevention event is logged — bugs caught at requirement, test, or PR. The dashboard shows what each gate is actually worth in dollars and hours.
- ·Prevention timeline
- ·Per-stage value
- ·Top projects + bottlenecks
Three places Spectrace catches what would have shipped wrong.
At requirement
Ambiguous AC, missing edge cases, two requirements that contradict — caught before a single test or commit exists. The cheapest hour of engineering you can buy.
At test gen
Generated tests reveal the shape of "done". Reviewers see whether an AC is testable. Vague ones get rewritten, weak ones get tightened — before the IDE opens.
At PR verify
PR diff is read against the spec. Per-AC fit, missing coverage, scope creep, and silently regressed AC all surface in one verdict before a human reviewer is paged.
