IEEE Software Design Author

Overview

Guided elaboration of software or systems design documentation per IEEE standards (e.g. 1016 for design description, 829 for test documentation) — design views, traceability to requirements, and test plan/report structure.

Getting Started

Add your source materials to the project workspace, then activate the IEEE Software Design Author skill. The agent will guide you through the process step by step.

Example Conversation

You: We need a Software Design Description per IEEE 1016 and test documentation per IEEE 829. Include traceability to requirements.

Agent: I’ll draft the design document with views, components, interfaces, and test plan/report structure, with requirement-to-design traceability.

You: Run the validator. Agent: I ran check_ieee_design_section_coverage. IEEE design and traceability content present. No warnings.

Sample Output Excerpt

IEEE 1016 — Views: Context, decomposition, interface. Traceability: REQ-1 → Design Component A. IEEE 829: Test plan; test report outline.

Built-in Validation Tools

check_ieee_design_section_coverage checks for design views/sections and requirement traceability. Run on design or test document after drafting.
