AI tool finds critical spec and test gaps in open-source code

A developer created a tool called SysEdge that uses AI to audit open-source codebases for specification and testing gaps. When applied to Formbricks, a survey platform, SysEdge identified that PII was being exported despite anonymization being enabled, a defect stemming from unspecified exception handling in the requirements. For Documenso, an e-signature platform, SysEdge found that critical background job handlers for envelope expiration lacked any tests, despite the platform having extensive end-to-end tests. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates AI's potential for automated code auditing and quality assurance, potentially improving software development practices.

    I cloned Formbricks and Documenso cold from GitHub and ran an AI spec audit. Here's what it found.

    <p>I built a tool called SysEdge that models requirements, tests, and architecture standards in a Neo4j graph. It ships two AI-powered audit commands:</p> <ul> <li> <strong><code>coverage-review --uc UC-xxx</code></strong> — evaluates a use case spec against 7 AS-REQ dimensions: …
