Automated design document generation, update and management service

Is there any system in the world in which the design document and the actual application match perfectly? In the case of systems created using agile methods, the design document may not exist at the beginning. Even in the case of a waterfall style development, specification changes are often made at the request of stakeholders during the development stage, resulting in a gap between the design document and the system, which has become a problem.

Synchronization of design documents and systems is very important for the DevSecOps cycle of development and operations. AppDocOne, On Demand One's "automatic design document update and management service," will free you from the problem of divergence between design documents and systems.
