My friend Per Otto Bergum Christensen has created a great too for agile software developers called BDoc. The purpose of the tool is to generate documentation from your unit test code which is linked to requirements in your user stories. This is one of the reoccurring problems I have experienced in agile projects and BDoc is a step in the right direction.
BDoc generates documentation from the test code in a natural language which anyone can read, with a link to the user story. This enables the customer or other non-technical personnel to see whether the requirements in the user stories are fulfilled or whether there are still some pieces missing. This solves one of the issues frequently encountered in agile software projects with user stories becoming outdated and out of sync with what developers are creating.
There is a great article up on The Server Side which gives a great overview of how BDoc works. If you understand Norwegian you can see his talk about BDoc at the agile conference Smidig 2008 in Oslo, Norway.
