Abstract :
We aim to bridge the gap between requirement&design (R&D) documents and source code to support fast code changes. Recognizing that developers are used to working on source code, we model R&D documents as semi-structured LATEX documents and distribute them closer to related source code. By doing this, working with all kinds of artifacts is unified. Developers can edit, search and compare all the artifacts in environments that they are familiar with. This solution also supports document generation, code generation, and other extensions.
