All-in-one solution
Estimate, design, spec, build, test and train all from a single platform.
One Platform
Reference everything
Use specialized tools to describe, track and link each facet of your software development lifecycle.
Ready to use
No need to find, install and pay for add-ons. With Specify the tools are purpose built and integrated.
Specifications Management
Store, organize and reference every aspect of your project. Specify everything once in one place to avoid inefficiencies, miscommunications and forgotten details.
Manage your team’s tasks and track their time accurately
With built-in components, workflows and time tracking, spend less time micro-managing.
Leveraging a single system to track projects from estimates to release, Specify provides the framework and tools you need to model and continually optimize your team’s processes.
Store, organize and document your project’s mockups
Describe interface behaviours in context, then reference both mockups and specs throughout your project within a single platform.
Visually design your project’s database as a team
With a built-in collaborative Entity Relationship Diagramming (ERD) tool, Specify allows your entire team to design, communicate and manage data models.
Includes convenient import and export tools for MySQL, with other database platforms coming soon.
Develop and share API workflows
Have your backend team develop and test API calls and link them together to create scenarios that can be modelled once then run on multiple server environments from local development machines to dev, staging and live boxes.
Scenarios were designed to transform API development lifecycle to eliminate key pain points at every step:
- Project managers can use scenarios to define expected interactions between server and clients
- Backend developers can use scenerios to describe and validate use cases
- Quality assurance personnel can use scenarios to test APIs prior to initiating frontend or 3rd-party client development
- Frontend developers can reference scenarios to see examples of API calls prior to integration, and to test alternative use cases
Other Features
Knowledge Base Builder
Generate a slick online or PDF knowledgebase for your end-users leveraging the same pages & specs you put so much effort into for your development team. Like everything else, the knowledgebase automatically updates when your specs change.
Team Permission Management
Control access to each Specify tool per user and project.
GitHub Integration
Automatically link commits to tasks. Integration with other repositories available.
High-Level Planning
Every project starts with a vision. Specify allows for the management of project “Plans” using “Components” that represent a deliverable that can include multiple tasks. Start with a simple component name & description, then map out the tasks required. Export plans to formatted PDF to distribute to clients and external stakeholders.
Estimate & ROI Tracking
Metrics based on intelligent models are the key to business decision-making. Specify provides the tools to simply model, estimate and track actuals against the way your business works to give you the information you need to improve estimates and to invest in new efficiencies.
Task Workflows
Model how tasks flow from design, specifications, backend, frontend, quality assurance, release and everything in between, then define automated assignment rules and track activity and role-based performance.
