Spec-Driven Development in Practice: How AI Simplify Full-Stack Java

Together with Capgemini, we’d like to invite you to our talk in June. This time, we’ll be discussing spec-driven development with Simon Martinelli.

Spec-Driven Development in Practice: How AI Simplify Full-Stack Java
AI is transforming how we develop software, but many teams still treat code as the source of truth, leading to outdated documentation and hidden business logic. What if specifications became the single source of truth instead?

This session introduces Spec-Driven Development (SDD) and the AI Unified Process (AIUP), a practical approach in which developers write clear, structured requirements, and AI generates everything else: diagrams, code, and tests. When requirements change, the system stays consistent automatically.

Based on a real-world Java project built with Spring Boot, jOOQ, and Vaadin, the most productive and secure web framework for Java, you’ll see how SDD keeps business rules, data access, and UI perfectly aligned.

Join this session to learn how AIUP helps Java developers deliver applications faster, with less boilerplate and more focus on what really matters: understanding the domain.
Most teams still treat code as the source of truth, leading to outdated documentation and hidden business logic.
In this session, you’ll learn how Spec-Driven Development (SDD) and the AI Unified Process (AIUP) let you define requirements once and generate consistent Java code, diagrams, and tests automatically.
Based on a real project with Spring Boot, jOOQ, and Vaadin, this talk shows how to build faster, safer, and more maintainable full-stack Java applications.
