What is Flowriter?

NextCreate a free trial account

Last updated 5 months ago

Flowriter is an AI-powered web application that streamlines the creation of software development documentation, including Epics, User Stories, and Test Scripts.

Start by creating a flowchart to illustrate the actions and decisions involved in using a feature. Flowriter's AI then:

  • Identifies potential User Goals and Journeys;

  • Generates Gherkin-style Acceptance Criteria; and

  • Produces sample Javascript Test Scripts for automated feature testing.

To save even more time and effort Flowriter can also suggest User Stories and flowcharts for an Epic.

Story flowcharts can be simple, like this:

Or more complex with decisions and branches that lead to different outcomes for the user as they interact with the feature and choices presented to them:

In this more complex example, the feature has a number of possible actions and outcomes that must be properly documented and tested to ensure the feature is implemented as intended.

Flowriter simplifies those tasks for you, and takes the effort out of writing documentation and test scripts.

Why flowcharts?

Flowcharts are an effective way to visualize the actions, decisions, and outputs of a feature or service.

However, Product Managers often document features as User Stories, which can be time-consuming. Additionally, when documenting complex features, it's easy to overlook potential user journeys and test cases.

Flowriter addresses this challenge by analyzing the logic within a User Story's flowchart.

This analysis guides the AI in generating accurate Acceptance Criteria and Test Scripts that reflect the intended functionality.
