Software documentation

In service industries, special processes include correctness of financial or legal documents, software, professional advice, etc. In such cases, these processes are not separated for special treatment, as all processes in the business may fall into this category. 

Existing procedures, standards documents, software, and user manuals. When these exist, they should be consulted. But keep in mind that procedures as written often do not reflect the actual operations. User manuals for existing systems are a rich source of information. They act as a key input to reverse-engineering an abstract model of a system and therefore of a business. 

In addition, the ECB is currently providing support to the implementahon of the new chemical legislation REACH. In parhcular, the ECB is coordinating the process of developing guidance documents, software tools, and infrastmcture, enabling a smooth start of REACH for aU stakeholders. 

There are many high-quality, well-documented, software packages available to solve stiff problems in this form. However, one often encounters chemically reacting flow problems that are not easily posed as standard-form ODEs. In these cases problems can often be posed easily in a more general form, called differential-algebraic equations (DAE),... 

When a deviation takes place, the project manager and/or tester executing the protocol must complete a test incident (or similar) report. This report describes the nature of the event, the corrective action(s) necessary to resolve the event, an assessment of the impact of the event on the test case or any related documentation, software and any subsequent test cases and/ or protocols.

Documenting software errors is important and problems should not be casually reported for repair by the programmer on an ad hoc basis. Problems found during testing are tracked using the HP internal defect control system (DCS). 

Orthopedics has recognized the importance of measuring outcomes in terms of quality-adjusted life-years instead of length of implant survival.Similarly, pharmacy must implement software documentation solutions that facilitate outcomes monitoring beyond cost savings. Software is needed with the ability to calculate, in a cost-benefit analysis, the clinical impact of pharmacist interventions as they affect therapeutic, financial, and humanistic outcomes. The current array of products could be better integrated into documentation software to facilitate tabulation of these data. With the power of the Internet to manipulate data in a dynamic database, it would even be possible for hospitals to compare their outcomes on a local, regional, or national basis. Furthermore, the database could... 

The specialist in poison information (SPI) is the foundation of a PIC. The SPIs respond to incoming poison information calls and document each inquiry on a medical record. Nearly all of the RPICs utilize one of the electronic patient management/medical documentation software programs (e.g., Dotlab, Toxicall). Medical documentation customarily follows the S.O.A.P. approach to medical documentation ...

Links Active links to another section, electronic scientihc document, software, or Web-based systems via uniform resource locator. Ideally, the ELN shall allow the link target to be opened directly from within the document. 

Sequential reference allocated to progressive revisions of documentation, software, equipment (including hardware), data and so on. 

Some of the internal metrics used in the experimental study are well-known and well-documented software metrics (McCabes s cyclomatic complexity, Halstead complexity measures and Source Lines of Code). We have, however, also made an attempt at defining new metrics aimed specially at identifying differences... 

Determination of a specific documentation system More and more frequently, operators dispose of intelligent documentation software. Therefore the contractor is required to prepare the documentation using this software.

The term SL comes from RTCA/DO-178B, Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification, 1992. In this document, software is classified into five levels based on a set of criteria for each level. The derived SL is based on the contribution of the software to potential failure conditions as determined by the SSA process. The SL implies that the failure condition category of the software drives the amount of effort (level of rigor [LOR]) required to show compliance with certification requirements.
