The process of developing and maintaining technical information for software development, such as user manuals, installation instructions, API documentation, and release notes, is known as software documentation. Software documentation's main objective is to give users and developers a thorough grasp of how to use and interact with the software as well as any pertinent technical details.
Effective software documentation must be thorough, accurate, and current, as well as simple to use and comprehend. The intended audience, whether they are end users, developers, or other stakeholders, should also be taken into consideration.
By giving developers a clear road map to follow and simplifying team communication, documentation can also help with the upkeep and improvement of the product.
