Technical documentation in software development refers to any documents, knowledge repositories (such as internal wikis), or architecture and system designs. Even user guides can be technical documentation. They are anything that explains how software works, how to use the software and what technologies the software is made of.As well as explaining the software and possibly hardware involved, it can also guide users, help teams work better together, and improve development, maintenance and further development. All documentation has the risk of becoming out of date, so it is as important to maintain them as it is the software itself.Types of technical documents can include requirements in many forms, architecture schematics and designs. API documentation, troubleshooting guides, code comments, reference documents and user manuals.Testers can gain all sorts of knowledge, insights, and test ideas from them, as well as assessing risks.
