Subject:UI-driven system documentation? From:Amanda_Abelove -at- toyota -dot- com To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Mon, 7 Mar 2005 18:35:39 -0800
Urgh--
My PM just asked for UI-driven system documentation... What is that?
He wants something where change requests include screenshots of the
changes to the GUI, but I thought that a change in functionality was
always goal-based, and that the GUI change was part of that goal. Even
when you reverse engineer a software app with an external behavior focus
(UI) doesn't that give you a limited view of the subsystem activity?
