ByteCase Roadmap
Build useful tools first. Connect them when connection adds value.
The current development direction for ByteCase tools, signed pre-release publication, active workflow and education modules, future product designs, and ByteCase Hub.
Current product direction
The suite by development stage.
Core development and release preparation are complete; separate signed Windows releases are being prepared.
- ByteCase Intake Digital Forensics Request Builder
- ByteCase Acquire Acquisition Packet Generator
- ByteCase Verify Hash Manifest and Verification Tool
- ByteCase Notes Structured Examiner Notes Workspace
- ByteCase Validate Laboratory Tool Validation Repository
Implementation is underway around an established and documented product direction.
- ByteCase Workflow Case-Folder Workflow Status and Next-Step Guide
- ByteCase Playbook Examiner Education and Workflow Coaching
The product direction is accepted, but workflows, interfaces, and capabilities may still change.
- ByteCase Exhibit Case Presentation and Exhibit Builder
- ByteCase Timeline Manual Case Timeline Builder
- ByteCase Closeout Case Completion and Readiness Review
Longer-term orchestration work that depends on stable standalone modules and shared formats.
Development sequence
A practical path from standalone utilities to orchestration.
Establish shared standards
Case numbering, storage structure, version records, filenames, report identity, logging, dependency review, and release verification.
- Brand and module naming established
- Initial website and product pages established
- Shared case-folder direction defined
- Finalize release identity and application icons
- Complete accessibility and responsive review
- Document dependency and license-review procedure
Strengthen current tools
Move Intake, Acquire, and Verify toward stable, documented, signed public releases.
- Complete Verify manifest and re-verification workflows
- Improve progress, cancellation, and exception handling
- Refine Intake review and analyst-submission flow
- Improve Acquire templates and packet formatting
- Publish release hashes and verification guidance
- Conduct structured examiner testing
Publish documentation and examiner resources
Ensure released tools have enough guidance to understand installation, storage, deliverables, limitations, and verification.
- Installation and user guides
- Storage and deliverable documentation
- Known limitations and release notes
- Hash-manifest and re-verification guidance
- Acquisition, intake, and case-folder checklists
- Validation and release-verification resources
Expand examiner-authored case records
Develop Notes, Timeline, Exhibit, Workflow, and Closeout around stable shared formats.
- Structured notes and linked ART references
- Manual timeline entries with time-zone context
- Exhibit and presentation templates
- Case-folder workflow checks
- Closeout and missing-item review
- Safe autosave, recovery, and export behavior
Build standalone laboratory knowledge tools
Develop Validate as a reusable repository across tools, versions, environments, workflows, and cases.
- Structured validation records
- Expected and observed result tracking
- Known limitations and exceptions
- External validation references
- Version comparison and revalidation history
- Validation-summary export
Refine the released Hub pilot
Hub 0.29.0 is downloadable now. Refine the case workspace through examiner feedback, then revisit the deferred Notes and Hub Report screens.
- Case listing and search
- Module-output discovery
- Shared basic case metadata
- Module launching and handoff
- Workflow status visibility
- Agency configuration profiles
Suggest a priority
Examiner feedback can change the order.
Missing workflows, repetitive documentation, difficult handoffs, validation concerns, testing scenarios, and useful integration points all help refine the roadmap.
