Types of Software Development Documentation
Sep 5, 2018 · 1 min read

Software technical documentation is a set of documents that either accompany a software product or are embedded in its source code. Such documents are an essential part of every development project as they perform the following tasks:
- formalize a common understanding of a product to be developed
- show how software operates
- explain how to use software
Different development documents are inherent in different stages of software engineering process. Specifically, you’ll need Vision Statement, Initial Assessment Document, Roadmap, Software Requirements Specifications, Wireframes and UX Roadmap at the pre-development stage; coding and testing documentation at the development stage; and user documentation at the post-development stage.
