Documentation of complex software facilities.

Series "Quality Management". M.: SYNTEG, 2005.- 215 p.

The book considers an organization of documentation of complex software facilities (SF) as well as requirements forming for documents of software system projects. Characteristics of document flow in complex SF projects and organization of labor for their documentation are stated. The book presents the structure and content of templates for more than 60 documents covering documentation of preliminary requirements, specifications and resources for SF development, design processes and quality characteristics, and development and programming of components. A considerable attention is paying to documentation of components verification and testing, qualified testing, SF’s quality examination and evaluation. Document templates are presented that support maintenance and configuration management of SFs, and processes of their operation. The content of base standards is described that regulate software systems documentation. A special section is devoted to documentation of software quality certification.

The book is recommended for customers, leaders and managers of large-scale software system projects with strong requirements for quality of program facilities documentation. It may be also useful for system analysts, members of scientific and development projects, undergraduate and graduate students specialized in documentation of software facilities.
