IT Systems Analysis and Design
Published in Sharon Yull, BTEC National for IT Practitioners: Core Units, 2009
Creating a system design is based on informed choices that have been supported by a range of documentary evidence that has been collected throughout the fact-finding/feasibility stage of the project. Documentation is crucial to the development and success of any system as it provides the evidence to support the changes that are required to ensure that a new system is more productive, efficient or cost-effective, etc.
Project Management Solutions for The Year 2000 Crisis
Published in Paul C. Tinnirello, Project Management, 2017
Documentation. Documentation covers both technical and business materials. Some common documentation includes architecture diagrams, procedures, user manuals, source code listings, workflows, and memorandums. Some items may go into a project library, project history files, or project manual, or perhaps all three; especially applicable to year 2000 projects are process models and architecture diagrams for affected programs and databases.
Ergonomic Characteristic of Software for Enterprise Management Systems

The type of documentation included with the system depends on system type, target users and, in some circumstances, on marketing considerations. It is essential that the text of the documentation is supplemented with graphical symbols, tables, graphs and photographs to make it easier to follow. It is also critical to provide a sufficient number of examples to make documentation content easier to understand, in particular to beginner users.
BISON: A Flexible Code for Advanced Simulation of the Performance of Multiple Nuclear Fuel Forms
Published in Nuclear Technology, 2021

Development of the documentation navigation experience focused on accommodating a wide range of user experience levels. Quick links, search functionality, and curated table-of-contents lists allow advanced users to rapidly find a specific documentation page. For new users, guided step-by-step instructions with copy-read example commands are provided to help download and build BISON. Detailed descriptions of simplified LWR examples are included with links to many BISON code elements. Descriptions of the BISON validation cases are incorporated into the web-based documentation system. Detailed descriptions of the material models applied in these validation cases are given as links to the relevant documentation pages. Such integration allows users to quickly explore the different material models used in each validation analysis.
Comparison of Erlang/OTP and JADE implementations for standby redundancy in a holonic controller
Published in International Journal of Computer Integrated Manufacturing, 2019
G. T. Hawkridge, A. H. Basson, K. Kruger
The development of control software for complex systems represents a significant investment of both time and money. Therefore, software platforms that simplify development are highly attractive. This is particularly important when considering that the implementation of standby redundancy is something that may not be familiar to many developers. Development and debugging tools – The existence of effective development and debugging tools contribute to development productivity.Existing features and frameworks – Existing features and frameworks reduce the amount of development work that is required and can provide a firm foundation for the developed system.Documentation – The effectiveness of a software platform’s documentation is of critical importance since it is the primary source of knowledge and understanding for developers. Documentation that is unclear or outdated can contribute to substantial development delays.
