Automatic Documentation Generation Tool for Software Integration Phase in NGPF Program Engines

Abstract

The actual process of HardwareSoftware Integration [1] takes too much time for completion due to the required documentation, and that is costly for the customer. Creating this tool help us to reduce significantly the amount the time is taken for the Integration Phase and the delivery to the customer after the start of the Verification Phase, thus lowering the cost of integration. The automatic documentation tool creates documents analyzing the deliverables from the Integration phase after compiling the source code. This tool provides documentation at design level by generating documentation from deliverables and is a way of integration with hand-written documentation. Hand-written documentation is not effective as it raises errors and takes more time. This approach works by reading keywords from a series of templates replacing them with the corresponding data in each document. This approach has been shown to be effective for the customer and reduces the time to deliver new engine software documentation to the informal verification phase.
