	Software documentation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Software Documentation or Source Code Documentation is written text that accompanies computer software.
		Documentation is an important part of software engineering that is often overlooked.
		In the case of a software library, the code documents and user documents could be effectively equivalent and are worth conjoining, but for a general application this is not often true.

	FSF - Licenses
		This is a free software license, and a copyleft license.
		This is a free software license, not a strong copyleft, and incompatible with the GNU GPL.
		This is not a free software license, because it

	Software and Documentation
		Software that is clearly constructed and extensible (sometimes conflicting goals) is critical to maintainability.
		The software developers who developed the buggy software that takes so much time to maintain should not be allowed to escape their creation.
		As is the case with some software rewrites, the result of the great cultural revolution was a disaster, which scared an entire generation of chinese.

	Software Architecture for Software-Intensive Systems
		The software architecture of a program or computing system is the structure or structures of the system, which comprise software elements, the externally visible properties of those elements, and the relationships among them.
		Software architectures are created, cared for, promulgated, and nurtured by software architects.
		Software professionals can take individual courses based on specific needs or interests, or complete one or more of three certificate programs.

	NCR - Software and Documentation Policies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		"Documentation" means software and hardware documentation, certain publications, education course material, and other documentation and material related to Software, whether furnished to you in printed form, on magnetic media, or in any other form.
		Your license to any copy of Software permits you to use that copy with only one unit of hardware (such as a System 3450) at a time, but by expressly stating in a contract, NCR may also license you to copy and use the same Products on multiple units of hardware.
		If you improperly continue to use Software after termination of the license, you will continue to be bound by these policies and will be obligated to pay NCR the then-current license for that Software.

	Software Test Documentation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		This software test documentation process requires two resources, two steps and two different skill sets: the subject matter experts understand the application and the functionality to be verified, and the automation engineers usually have a development background and know how to code in the scripting tool.
		Also important is the fact that this documentation is automatically maintained as the application changes and test cases are modified.
		There is no risk of documentation becoming misplaced or scattered as a result of personnel turnover.

	Software documentation with WWW
		The design and implementation of this software documentation kit is based on an HTML workbench which provides various filters which make simple transformations.
		A middleware platform is software which sits on top of operating systems and programming languages and provides distribution transparent interaction between various components of a system.
		As stated in the introduction, there is also a motivation to embed the software documentation into an overall project management document hierarchy.

	Software Documentation - free Suite101.com course
		Most software documentation is written by technical writers, employees who specialize in the field.
		In most cases that technical knowledge is operation of a specific piece of computer software or hardware and that audience is the person trying to use the same.
		By the end of the course you should have a good idea of what writing software documentation entails and be able to approach software documentation projects logically.

	Documentation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is often used to mean engineering or software documentation, which is usually paper books or computer readable files (such as HTML pages) that describe the structure and components, or on the other hand, operation, of a system/product.
		Normally, documenters are trained or have a background in technical writing, along with some knowledge of the subject(s) they are documenting.
		By engineers, perhaps among software engineers in particular, documentation is often referred to as the "boring side" of engineering, or considered a necessary evil.

	NASA Software Documentation Standard
		The NASA Software Documentation Standard (hereinafter referred to as "Standard") is designed to support the documentation of all software developed for NASA; its goal is to provide a framework and model for recording the essential information needed throughout the development life cycle and maintenance of a software system.
		Evolutionary Acquisition - The acquisition of software over a relatively long period of time in which two or more complete iterations of a life cycle will be employed to revise and extend the system to such an extent as to require a major requirements analysis and therefore subsequent life cycle iterations.
		If the acquirer of a software system is NASA and the provider is a contractor, a typical scenario of how the acquirer and provider documents would be produced is as follows.

	Software Documentation and Software Processes
		One of the more difficult tasks for all Technical Writers is the design and development of software documentation; however, technical writing for the software industry is no longer just writing documentation.
		Many software development concepts taught are for the "perfect" software company---a company with design documentation and available information and processes to support the Technical Writer's work.
		Of course, it is not a simple task because many software companies do not have solid processes for each step of the development cycle, which adds confusion to the documentation process.
