About the book
A complete view of the book.
SDD in Delphi shows how to place specifications at the center of AI-assisted software development. When requirements, rules, and constraints remain implicit, fast tools can produce convincing solutions for the wrong need. The book turns that risk into a verifiable process of understanding, design, implementation, and review.
Readers learn to build contracts, acceptance criteria, edge cases, and traceability, connecting them to architecture, code, and tests. Examples span VCL, FireMonkey, APIs, legacy systems, agents, RAG, and MCP, always treating AI as part of an engineering discipline rather than a replacement for analysis and technical responsibility.
The challenge
Does this situation sound familiar?
When a request is vague, AI can produce a convincing solution to the wrong need. In real Delphi systems, that means forgotten rules, broken contracts, and hidden risks.
The book’s approach
A path from intention to practice.
Turn demands, rules, restrictions, and acceptance criteria into a verifiable foundation for analyzing, designing, implementing, and maintaining software with AI support.
“Implementation quality begins with the quality of understanding.”
By the end of the book, you will be able to:
✓Write clear and verifiable specifications
✓Integrate AI into analysis, architecture, and implementation
✓Define acceptance criteria and edge cases
✓Review generated code responsibly
✓Apply SDD to VCL, FireMonkey, APIs, and legacy systems
✓Create evidence through tests and traceability
Questions that guide the reading
Answers begin with the right questions.
Questions explored through context, criteria, and examples.
How can AI be used without losing business rules and contracts?
How can requirements be traced to code and tests?
How does SDD apply to VCL, FireMonkey, APIs, and legacy systems?
Inside the book
A structured journey that helps you move forward.
Concepts and applications presented in a coherent sequence.
SDD foundations
Treat specifications as living instruments for understanding, direction, and verification.
Requirements and contracts
Turn rules, restrictions, and acceptance criteria into explicit contracts.
Delphi architecture
Connect architectural decisions to responsibilities, boundaries, and system impact.
Agents, RAG, and MCP
Use agents, retrieval, and tools without losing control over context and authority.
Testing and security
Convert requirements into tests and address threats and edge cases from the beginning.
AI governance
Create traceability, review, and policies for responsible AI adoption.
What makes this book different
Depth to understand. Clarity to keep moving forward.
Specifications as a source of direction and verification
Direct application to everyday Delphi projects
Acceptance criteria, boundaries, and traceability
AI integrated into engineering rather than treated as an isolated shortcut
Who this book is for
Knowledge that becomes action.
Delphi developers, software architects, and technical leaders will find a direct approach connected to concrete problems.

Before you begin
What you need to benefit from the book
✓Familiarity with software development
✓Examples emphasize Delphi, while the specification principles apply broadly
An informed choice
This may not be the right book if…
—Readers expecting AI to understand requirements that were never expressed
—Readers seeking code generation without analysis or verification
