Abstract: A method for generating one or more artifacts, including the machine-executable code, in the software development lifecycle is disclosed. The method includes receiving a first set of inputs corresponding to a configurable feature. A prompt and, thereafter, a story, for the configurable feature is generated. Followed by a second set of inputs for generating a particular architecture is received. Further, a plurality of templates is loaded and based upon the loaded plurality of templates, the low-level design specification for the components or modules of the architecture is generated. Based upon the story for the feature, the architecture, and the low-level design specification, a machine-executable code is generated. Consequently, the machine-executable code is transmitted to an integrated development environment (IDE).
