Technical documentation

Technical documentation is a necessary element when creating any software product. These documents contain a description of the program from different angles. Some software developers say that this documentation is not needed, its creation is redundant red tape and bureaucracy. In reality, this information is extremely useful.

Technical documentation

The importance of technical documentation on an abstract example:

Imagine that you are engaged in the installation of telesystems: you connect equipment for corporate clients. You agree with the client that you will come to his office to connect the equipment. In the usual sense, this is to arrive, install computers and stretch cables from the outlet to the machines for connection. The client may think that you will come, run the cables from the box to the office on the floor, then mount the sockets for connection, and only then connect the equipment in the office. Agree, your understanding and understanding of the client, in this case, differ significantly.
The essence of technical documentation is that everyone understands each other. If you used a list of services fixed on paper and showed it to the client before signing the contract for the provision of services, you would quickly understand each other.

What is technical documentation for?

  • Members of the development or test team will quickly understand how the product works.
  • The new team, to which the project is transferred for revision, immediately knows how the product works and what needs to be done with it next.
  • Ordinary users will easily understand how to work with a site or a software product.
  • A package of working documentation allows you to reduce the risks of the customer and the contractor. These documents give the customer the opportunity to assess the quality of the work performed, and the contractor receives a clear project management plan.

Technical documentation

The technical documentation of the project includes:

  • Technical task. The wishes of the customer, what he wants to see as a result of the work performed. Technical documentation is compiled with our participation so that we understand each other better.
  • Project plan. This is a document indicating the main scope of work.
  • Specification. Explanation of terms and detailed description of procedures.
  • Test plan. This is a document that completes the work on the project and exactly corresponds to the technical documentation drawn up at the initial stage of work.
  • Operational documentation. An extended description of the project, used as a guide to using the product.

This service will be useful for: members of the development team, so that they quickly join the work process without a long study of the features of the software product; transferring the program for revision to another development team; ordinary users so that they quickly understand the functionality of the application.
