Documentation has traditionally played a key role as an aid in program understanding. However, most documentation is \in-the-small," describing the program at the algorithm and data structure level. For large, legacy software systems, one needs \in-the-large" documentation describing the high-level structural aspects of the software system's architecture from multiple perspectives. One way of p...

In this system demonstration we present CurryDoc, a tool for the automatic generation of documentation manuals in HTML format from programs written in the declarative multi-paradigm language Curry. The documentation is generated by combining comments in the source program with information extracted from the program. It extends other tools with a similar goal (e.g., javadoc, lpdoc) by the inclus...

Programmers often use graphical forms of documentation that rely on software visualization techniques to make complicated information easier to understand. However, it is an open question exactly which types of graphical documentation are most suitable for which types of program understanding tasks (and in which specific usage contexts). The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is the de facto stand...

The second program THE PRINT-OUTS of this program provide a lot of lucid information on the documentation file or on its manageable sample, which is used as input data. They provide an objective picture of the structure of the documentation file, which is of primary importance for many measures facilitating the improvement of the structure.

Programs using means tests to identify low-income households face a trade-off between promoting access and ensuring program integrity. The authors use a comparison-district design to estimate the effects of a pilot program to improve the accuracy of the process of certifying students for free or reduced-price meals in the National School Lunch Program. This pilot program required households to ...

INTRODUCTION The quality of nursing documentation is still a challenge in the nursing profession and, thus, in the health care industry. One major quality improvement program is clinical governance, whose mission is to continuously improve the quality of patient care and overcome service quality problems. The aim of this study was to identify whether clinical governance improves the quality of ...

The Software Concordance is a hypermedia software development environment exploring how document technology and versioned hypermedia can improve software document management. The Software Concordance’s central tool is a document editor that integrates program analysis and hypermedia services for both source code and multimedia documentation in XML. The editor allows developers to embed inline m...

BACKGROUND Nursing documentation is essential for facilitating the flow of information to guarantee continuity, quality and safety in care. High-quality nursing documentation is frequently lacking; the implementation of computerized decision support systems is expected to improve clinical practice and nursing documentation. AIM The present study aimed at investigate the effects of a computeri...

Internal documentation addresses and maintains the program understanding and is intended for current and future developers. Current developers document thoughts and rationales behind a program, so future developers can gain understanding of the program, without resorting to reverse engineering (either manual or “automatic”). We know that programs that are documented in this way are likely to be...
