Why Docs as Code Should Be Part of Your Dev Cycle
Many established methodologies help streamline software development. Typically, a documentation cycle, as opposed to a developer one, is unnecessarily complicated, being a hybrid of different practices.
The Docs as Code approach uses automated testing and deployment tools to streamline a documentation development and publication process.
By implementing a shared environment for documentation and code, technical teams can streamline collaboration, improve communication and maintain consistency throughout the development cycle.
Overall, adopting a Docs as Code approach and incorporating peer review as an integral part of the development cycle enhances the quality of technical documentation, improves collaboration between teams and ensures documentation is given the attention it deserves throughout the entire software development process.
