Smart Docs & Traceability
Build requirements documents that stay live-connected to Azure DevOps, and trace every requirement from epic to test case — with full visibility into where coverage breaks down.
Smart Docs
Turn your Azure DevOps work items into one living requirements document.
- Built and edited natively inside Azure DevOps — no separate authoring tool to buy or learn.
- Documents stay synced automatically as work items change, replacing static files that go stale.
- Solves the disconnect between requirements and the backlog, so documentation never falls behind the work.
- For regulated industries, every document stays audit-ready — with traceability to standards like FDA 21 CFR Part 11, IEC 62304, and ISO 26262.
Smart Docs Intro
See how Smart Docs turns your Azure DevOps work items into one living document — a single audit-ready source of truth, no separate authoring tool.
Create and Build Smart Docs
Build a document from epic to test case inside Azure DevOps, pulling in existing work items while keeping the audit trail intact from day one.
Edit and Explore Advanced Features
Bulk-update fields, clone a document, or save any structure as a template — all inside Azure DevOps while keeping your full audit history intact.
Inserting Full Work Item Hierarchies
Pull an entire sprint or release into a document in one move. Every item stays live and synced, so nothing gets left out of your compliance record.
Traceability
Map the relationships between epics, features, user stories, and test cases.
- Built directly inside Azure DevOps — no exporting to spreadsheets or a third-party tool.
- Coverage gaps — an untested requirement, an untraced feature — surface visually as you work.
- Solves the audit problem, so gaps are caught before an auditor finds them first.
- Gives regulated teams the traceability evidence auditors expect for DO-178C, IEC 62304, and ISO 26262.
Work Item Type Horizontal Matrix
Map how epics decompose into features, user stories, and test cases inside Azure DevOps — the coverage evidence auditors request for IEC 62304 and DO-178C.
Query Horizontal Matrices
Build a matrix from a saved Azure DevOps query, then use the built-in analytics dashboard to surface compliance gaps before a regulatory audit does.
Multi-Query Horizontal Matrix
Trace one query's work items against a second — such as every sprint against every test case — useful for cross-checking coverage in regulated environments.
Intersection Work Item Matrix
See coverage between two work item types as a grid — visual proof of coverage for compliance reviews, without leaving Azure DevOps.
Intersection Query Type Matrix
Run the same intersection view using two saved queries — surfacing compliance evidence exactly where auditors look first, all inside Azure DevOps.
