Streamlining the Agile Documentation Process Test-Case Driven Documentation Demonstration for the XP2006 Conference

Abstract

In far too many software projects the value of the documentation delivered is not high enough to motivate the effort spent to write it. An outdated document can be as misleading as a good, up to date one can be helpful. This demonstration will show how unit tests complemented with descriptive comments can be used to generate documentation that is constantly up to date. It is demonstrated by example how both the static and dynamic features of a software system can be salvaged with very little effort to be presented to a bigger audience as relevant, readable documentation.
