As technical communicators, this challenge most likely resonates with you -- how do you keep docs in sync with your product? In the words of Manny Silva, "When product updates are frequent and user expectations are high, maintaining accurate and up-to-date documentation isn’t just a necessity—it’s a competitive advantage."
Manny proposes. Docs as Tests, a strategy that keeps your docs in sync with your product. It’s a way to test your docs, just like engineers test their code.
As Manny joins me, we unravel the story of Doc Detective—an innovative tool that challenges the status quo by ensuring documentation remains in lockstep with product functionality. Through a case study and demo, Manny shares how Doc Detective tests your content against your product UIs and APIs to ensure that your docs are always accurate, complete, and relevant.
