Reviews
John A. Cross
In the author's words, “This book has a single purpose: to demonstrate the cost-benefit of combining and automating software configuration management and software documentation.” Because the value of integrating and automating Code and Documentation Management (CDM) is unlikely to be controversial, most of the book prescribes ways of working toward this goal. These practical suggestions are dominated by examples and lists of “Recommendations” at the end of each chapter. As a text, the short length of the book allows it to be used as a supplement in a course on documentation or configuration management. However, the author's practical arguments do not contribute to the sort of scientific knowledge base upon which university educators would like to build an authentic software engineering discipline. This book may provide its greatest contribution to software developers who want to obtain some of the benefits of automated CDM and reusable software documentation, without prohibitive initial costs or bureaucracy.

Code Documentation
The basic principles of good code documentation include the avoidance of repetition, the coexistence of code and its documentation, the documentation of all artifacts, and a preference for clear code and automated processes to explanatory documentation. ...
Towards Automating Code Review Activities
ICSE '21: Proceedings of the 43rd International Conference on Software EngineeringCode reviews are popular in both industrial and open source projects. The benefits of code reviews are widely recognized and include better code quality and lower likelihood of introducing bugs. However, since code review is a manual activity it comes at ...
Automating testing by reverse engineering of software documentation
WCRE '95: Proceedings of the Second Working Conference on Reverse EngineeringReverse engineering of software documentation can play an important role in automating software testing. Since testers often compare the operation of a software system to the expected behavior as described in a document, information extraction from ...
