Lido - Wiki based Living Documentation with Domain Knowledge

Abstract

There is a gap between code and documentation in many software development projects. This gap usually grows as time goes by, decreasing developers ability to keep product quality high. We describe how documentation based on a common wiki can be enhanced with domain knowledge in ways that ensure better live documentation. This way updated and relevant documentation, i.e., specifications, manuals, models, test scripts, etc. lead ultimately to higher quality software.
