Subject:Re: info about methodologies for documentation From:Anthony Markatos <tonymar -at- HOTMAIL -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 11 Aug 1999 15:59:16 PDT
Ricardo Eito asks:
I am interesting in methodologies and templates to document the code of
software applications: modules, flow of data, input and output variables,
and so on. Can anybody give me any information about standarized procedures:
books,
articles, standards, etc?
Tony Markatos responds:
There really is only one tool for what you want to do -- Structured Systems
Analysis techniques. Best bet -- look up Yourdon Press on the web.
As Ed Yourdon says "Only by following the flow of data is it possible to
understand (and I may add, document)the underlying logic of a system".
