Test Driven Documentation concept - encouraging engineers to write effective documents
Test: identify what is to be communicated
- product, tools, concepts, designs, tips
- identify audience
Document: write the document
- start with a braindump (avoid staring at a blank page)
- dont worry about prose, flow or format initially
- capture all the facts and useful examples
Refactor: make the document effective
- make the information flow from one paragraph to the next
- simplify the wording
- remove 'extra' words that dont add value
