Docs as Tests: A Strategy For Resilient Documentation

In the fast-paced world of software development, ensuring that your product documentation keeps pace with your product updates is a challenge many technical documentation face. During this presentation. Manny Silva, Head of Documentation at Skyflow, introduces a revolutionary approach to this problem by treating software documentation as tests against your product. This method not only highlights discrepancies between your docs and the actual product itself but also ensures that these differences are identified and rectified early, enhancing user experience and product reliability. During this one-hour presentation, you will learn about an agnostic framework called 'Docs as Tests' designed to keep your products and their documentation in perfect harmony. By applying principles similar to those used in code testing for accuracy and functionality, this strategy allows documentation teams to detect and address disparities before they impact the end user. Silva will share practical tips on implementing this strategy within your teams, regardless of size or industry. Expect to walk away with actionable insights that can transform how you think about and manage software documentation, turning it into a robust tool for quality assurance rather than just a static resource.
