The documents can be output in various formats, such as printed, as online help (FAQ), CHM file (Compiled Help Module) or as a classic PDF document.
Good technical software documentation should always have the needs of the respective users or customers in mind (for example, planners, maintenance staff, group leaders or workers). Furthermore, it provides you with sustainable support in achieving their goal as easily as possible and without any fuss. For this reason, technical software documentation should contain extremely clear and precise instructions that are easy to understand. Explanatory graphics and images can also be included in the documentation to make it easier to absorb the content. Another target group of technical software documentation is the newly hired employees, as they either receive special training with a software to be used and / or can familiarise themselves with the functionalities of the software by means of the technical software documentation.
As a rule, technical software documentation is prepared by the technical experts to ensure absolutely accurate and correct reproduction of the information to be conveyed. In addition, software documentation should also be updated regularly to ensure that it is compatible with developments and changes in the latest software releases.

Even though, it is nevertheless of the utmost relevance for the smooth use of the software products by the customer.
