December 14, 2009
Press Release

AppLife DNA helps users focus squarely on identified requirements, write iterative functional specifications, and effectively communicate change over the duration of their project. With AppLife DNA, users can rapidly produce a “living” requirement specification document on-the-fly during any stage of an application development project. AppLife DNA advances iterative software development by transforming requirements analysis and specification authoring from a task to be completed, into a continuous iterative process.
