A systematic approach to creating and maintaining software documentation
Allison L. Powell, James C. French, John C. Knight · 1996
Abstract. Current software documentation is difficult to write and seldom meets the varying needs of its users. We propose that by considering different users and applying information retrieval techniques to the information included in software documentation, we can provide effective access to that information. We submit a set of features for inclu-sion in documentation database systems and describe a pro-totype designed to determine the usefulness of these features.
