<div class="bz_comment_block">
<pre class="bz_comment_text">There are different aspects we could and should document:
* User documentation
* Developer documentation
* Api documentation
* Test suite documentation
Additionally, this page outlines what good documentation should contain:
<a href="https://documentation.divio.com/">https://documentation.divio.com/</a>.
User Documentation
The user docs are what we have in doc/guides/tools. These should contain the
tutorials and how-to guides about testbed setup and how to run/configure DTS.
There may be parts which would be better placed in developer documentation
(such as the docs guidance).
Developer Documentation
The developer docs should be understanding-oriented. These should contain the
architecture, what are good (and bad) coding practices with explanations, what
to put into a commit message and so on.
There could also be some tutorials and how-to guides.
There should probably two parts, one for framework developers and one for test
suite developers. The test suite developers docs may actually be in the user
docs.
We don't a clear where we'd put the developer docs.
API Documentation
This is the reference mainly for framework developers, but test case developers
would find it useful as well. The place to put these has been discussed and
would be placed alongside DPDK API docs.
Test Suite Documentation
This is different from the test suite developer docs mentioned above. The test
suite developer docs is about how to implement a test suite and related
resources. This documentation is about documenting the test suite itself - what
it's testing, what configuration is needed and so one.
The place to put this documentation is currently the test suite Python file. If
we adopt a YAML-based test case definition file, we may need to move some (or
all) of it to the YAML file.
