User-Guide-Driven Development

User-Guide-Driven Development

“‘User-Guide-Driven Development’, or UGDD for short. The mechanics of UGDD is similar to that of Test-Driven Development (TDD), but before I write the test for a feature, I write a snippet of the user guide describing the feature I am about to implement. Whereas TDD focuses on the functionality, UGDD focuses on both the functionality and the usability”

Currently a Technical Information Manager, based in Scotland (yeah, I'm a Documentation Manager), I'm interested in all things technical communications related, particularly focussed on software development. I'm also a BIG advocate of Web 2.0 ideas.

    Wow… this is an amazing coincidence. I just blogged about something very similar over at java.net: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/johnreynolds/archive/2008/09/user_manual_dri.html
