Information
Artidoc is a service available only with the Tuleap Enterprise offering.
Artidoc is a native feature of Tuleap Enterprise that allows you to create collaborative project documents directly within the ALM environment.
Each section of the document can be “linked to” or “converted into” a traceable, plannable, and auditable artifact, fully connected to other Tuleap tools (trackers, kanbans, roadmaps, etc.).
Artidoc thus becomes a centralized space to:
Write functional specifications.
Formalize needs, risks, and decisions.
Ensure traceability of requirements and evidence of compliance.
Automatically generate tickets or user stories.
Produce audited and easily shareable documents.
Artidoc is a specific type of document. Each section of the document corresponds to an artifact.
Once the Artidoc document is created, it must be configured with a tracking system. This system will be used to create new sections.
Please note that the configuration can be changed during the document’s lifetime; the newly selected tracking system affects only new sections, while existing sections remain unchanged.
A document that evolves with the project
With Artidoc, documents are no longer static snapshots of intent. They become living, reliable, and synchronized views of project execution.
Thanks to the read-only display of artifact fields (available since version 16.12), you can directly within the document:
Instantly view the status of a requirement (in progress, validated, rejected, etc.).
Check test coverage or linkage to a validation scenario.
Identify dependencies between artifacts, their priorities, versions, or owners.
Prepare an audit or project review without re-entry or manual consolidation.
Documentation becomes a clear, customizable, and audit-ready dashboard.
Result: you no longer just write documents, you manage the project with them.
Use case example: specification, need, requirement
Let’s imagine the formalization of a requirement for a critical component in Artidoc.
From the document, you can immediately see:
Its validation status (approved by the Product Owner or not).
Its priority.
The tests that cover it.
The ticket associated with its implementation.
All without ever leaving the document.
And if the status, priority, or coverage change in the Tracker, the view in Artidoc is automatically updated, ensuring information that is always up to date and reliable.
