Front-end development slows down software engineering. Designers find it difficult to see their wireframes faithfully translated into code. Prolific backend engineers tend to avoid front-end engineering.

We'll show how Specification-Driven Development with Spec Kit and Figma Design To Code (AI Pundit Magic, a Visual Studio add-on that translates Figma designs into React code) can help close this gap in this session.

You'll learn how to turn Azure DevOps user stories with design links into functional tasks that can be carried out directly in Visual Studio Code and maintained in sync throughout the lifecycle. Better governance, quicker delivery, and more contented developers are the outcomes. We will present practical examples, real-world situations, and insights gained from applying this methodology to enterprise projects within the Microsoft ecosystem (ASP.NET Zero, ABP).

After attending, attendees will have a clear understanding of how to implement these practices in their own organizations.

You will learn:

• Shift-Left with Specifications – How specification driven development (using Spec Kit) helps align requirements, compliance, and design early in the lifecycle to reduce late-stage churn.
• AI-Powered Frontend Acceleration – How AI Pundit Magic turns Figma designs into enterprise-ready React code within Visual Studio, keeping developers focused on business logic instead of pixel work.
• Seamless DevOps Integration – How Azure DevOps user stories, tasks, and wireframes can be orchestrated with AI to maintain sync between requirements, design, and code execution.
