TOWARD SINGLE-SOURCING OF SOFTWARE PROJECT DOCUMENTED CONTENTS: A PRELIMINARY STUDY
Chung‐Yang Chen, Wen-Lung Tsai · Int. J. Electron. Bus. Manag. · 2011
Project documentation is a crucial task in software project development, and this is particularly true in today's business environments where organizational values from documented project knowledge are vital in continuing business experience and success. However, preparing, writing and maintaining project documents are often considered a tedious and fragmented job, especially in the rapid project development with the stress of time and limited human resources. Through observing the fact that project documentation strings up the context of development for a software project, we propose the application of single sourcing and present an innovative approach that applies object technologies to scrutinize and organize project documented contents. In this preliminary study, we present the application of single sourcing and introduce the concept of the approach. We also use an example and a walk-through analysis to illustrate the idea and the approach.
