Closed-loop design methodology for matching customer requirements to software design

A method for matching customer requirements communicated from a customer to a corresponding software design is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the method includes gathering the customer requirements communicated from the customer and generating a machine-readable transcript of the customer requirements. A lexical analysis is run of the machine-readable transcript, thereby generating an output including one or more diagrammed sentences. The output of the lexical analysis is then mapped into object-oriented constructs. A high-level language design from an output of said mapping is then created.
