Introduction

Software delivery today demands both speed and precision. Yet, traditional SDLC processes remain fragmented - requirements are siloed, testing is reactive, and cross-team visibility is limited. The result? Slow releases, inconsistent quality, and mounting technical debt.

Reqspell and Testspell, part of the Codespell.ai ecosystem, bridge this gap through AI-powered end-to-end intelligence. Together, they transform how teams capture requirements, generate tests, and validate releases - connecting every phase of the SDLC with automation and insight.

1. The Modern SDLC Bottleneck

Most enterprises still rely on disconnected tools for requirements, coding, and testing. This leads to three persistent issues:

Ambiguity in requirements, causing rework and scope creep. ‍
Manual test scripting, slowing down QA velocity. ‍
Limited traceability, making it hard to assess change impact.

Without automation and intelligence, teams spend more time managing workflows than delivering value.

2. Reqspell: Intelligent Reverse Engineering
