Abstract
The Consolidated Automated Support System (CASS) documentation used to develop CASS test program sets (TPS) is extensive in size, is updated frequently, and is used by large numbers of TPS developers at numerous sites. This documentation was originally delivered in paper format, which was relatively difficult and expensive to maintain and distribute. Alternate methods of maintaining and distributing these documents were investigated. In an attempt to reduce problems and costs, this technical paper discusses how and why the CASS TPS development documentation was converted from a large set of books to the Test Program Set Development (TPSD) Hypertext Guide (THG), a set of hypertexted documents that is now being distributed and read on the World Wide Web (WWW). This paper also provides information on the associated costs and benefits, and describes how these documents are currently being maintained and controlled.
