UNIT 3 DELIVERABLES: Technical Instruction Set
Introduction
One of the most important tasks a technical writer will face is the task of writing a clear set of instructions. Instructions are step-by-step explanations: how to build, operate or repair something, or how to complete a procedure. According to our text, instructions come in three categories:
· General Instructions describing how to assemble something or use something—a toy, a swing set, a book shelf, a DVR, etc.
· Specifications are used by engineers, technicians, and architects to describe in great.

It also discusses how BioPharm can help organizations implement and customize iHelp for their Siebel Clinical users.
The document discusses assessing technical and user documentation for a web development and database administration course. It defines documentation and its purposes, and describes the types of documentation including user documentation and technical documentation. User documentation aims to assist end-users, while technical documentation provides details for development teams. The document also covers reviewing documentation for accuracy, completeness, conciseness and quality; types of documentation reviews; and the documentation review process.
The document discusses various methods for evaluating the usability of interfaces and software systems. It describes the goals of evaluation as assessing functionality, interface effects, and identifying specific problems. Both analytical and empirical testing methods are covered. Analytical methods include heuristic evaluation, consistency inspection, and cognitive walkthrough. Empirical methods involve observation/monitoring of users and experimentation. Key aspects discussed for evaluation include iterative testing, formative vs. summative approaches, and the DECIDE framework.
This document discusses various methods for providing user support systems, including the key considerations in designing an effective help system. It outlines different types of help features like command assistance, context-sensitive help, online tutorials, documentation, wizards, and adaptive help. It also discusses important design aspects such as availability, accuracy, consistency, flexibility, and unobtrusiveness. Finally, it covers challenges around knowledge representation and modeling the domain, tasks and advisory strategies for adaptive help systems.
The document discusses architectural documentation. It covers views, which divide an architecture into manageable representations. Relevant views depend on usage and include module, component-and-connector, and allocation views. Each view has a template for documentation, including a primary presentation, element catalog, context diagram, variability guide, and rationale. Cross-view documentation explains the organization, what the architecture contains through a system overview and element list, and the rationale for design decisions. Architectural documentation aims to educate users, enable communication, and provide a basis for construction and analysis.
Planning and writing your documents - Software documentationRa'Fat Al-Msie'deen
The document discusses writing a documentation plan, outlining its key components and purposes. It begins by explaining that a documentation plan provides guidelines and direction for technical writers as they create user-centered documentation. It then lists the basic elements that should be included in a documentation plan, such as an overview of the product, purpose of the documentation, identifying key contacts, defining the target audience, identifying risks and challenges, defining deliverables, and creating a documentation schedule. The document emphasizes that a documentation plan is important as it helps technical writers and content experts structure, organize, design, and create user-centered documentation that fits within the project schedule and product life cycle.
Ten Usability Heuristics by Jakob Nielsen.pptxsharmiladevi941
1) The 10 usability heuristics provide guidelines for interface design including visibility of system status, matching the system design to real world concepts, giving users control and freedom, maintaining consistency, preventing errors, using recognition over recall, providing flexibility and efficiency, having an aesthetic and minimal design, helping users recover from errors, and providing helpful documentation.
2) Some key guidelines within the heuristics are to always inform users of the system status, speak the user's language with familiar concepts, clearly label ways to exit tasks, maintain consistency across interfaces, eliminate error-prone conditions, reduce memory demands on users, allow for customization and shortcuts, remove unnecessary elements, and give constructive error messages.
3) The
The document discusses various aspects of usability design for software applications, including usable security, dialog boxes, and mobile usability. It provides guidance on how to balance usability and security, including focusing on simplicity, engaging users, and testing the balance. It discusses different types of dialog boxes like modal and modeless dialog boxes and when each is appropriate. It also covers some common mobile usability issues.
The document discusses the prototype model of software development. It defines prototyping as building a working replication of a product to obtain customer feedback. In the prototype model, an initial prototype is developed, tested, and refined based on customer feedback until an acceptable final prototype is achieved, which then forms the basis for the final product. The model is useful when requirements are unclear or changing, as it allows customers to provide early input and for new requirements to be incorporated through iterative refinement of prototypes.
Procedures are a form of software documentation that provide step-by-step guidance to users on how to complete tasks. Effective procedures (1) introduce the task and its purpose, (2) provide all necessary information in a logical order, and (3) include elaboration to help users avoid mistakes and learn efficient techniques. Procedures should balance explanatory text, visual elements like screenshots, and interactive elements like embedded help to clearly guide users without overwhelming them. The level of detail in a procedure depends on the intended users' experience levels and task complexity.
Targeted documentation STC Houston, Mar 20, 2012STC_Houston
The document discusses the principles and goals of targeted documentation. It advocates writing less but better documentation that focuses on the essential information users need to achieve their goals. It emphasizes understanding users and their needs in order to provide the right content in the right format. The document provides guidance on techniques for targeted documentation including conducting a thorough task analysis, focusing on the most common tasks, and designing documentation around user goals rather than product features.
This document provides guidance on using the IMRAD structure for a recommendation report. It explains that IMRAD is a widely used structure that organizes a technical report into Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion sections. It then provides details on what content should be included in each section, such as the purpose and goals in the Introduction, the testing methods and criteria in the Methods section, the findings and visual representations of data in the Results section, and an overall conclusion and recommendations in the Discussion section. Additional sections like the Title Page, Table of Contents, Bibliography, and Appendix are also described.
The document discusses prototype modeling. It defines a prototype as a working model built to test design aspects or concepts. There are different types of prototyping models and processes. Benefits of prototyping include exposing misunderstandings, identifying missing functionality, and encouraging innovation. Potential disadvantages are insufficient analysis if the focus is only on the prototype, user confusion between prototypes and finished systems, and excessive development time.
The document discusses frameworks for interaction design including defining the interaction framework, prototyping, and design principles. It provides details on the following steps to define an interaction framework: defining form factor and input methods, defining views, defining functional and data elements, determining functional groups and hierarchy, sketching the interaction framework, and constructing key path scenarios. It also discusses low and high fidelity prototyping, design principles, patterns, and imperatives. Observational evaluation techniques are outlined including what to observe, how to observe in controlled environments and in the field, and checklists for planning field observations.

• Each chapter should begin with short introduction.
• The first section should ideally be an overview of the topic to be discussed.
• Use task oriented heading and section title.
• Use numbered and bulleted lists to help reader scan the information
quickly.
• Follow the rules of parallelism.
• Use table to provide statistical information and other details ,information
presented in tabular form to access.
• Use graphics to show the reader the key concepts of the objects they will be
working with.
• The user guide usually update for major releases. This reduce the effort
for updating the large manuals and the cost of updating ,publishing and
distributing the document again.
4. content
• The user guide contains information that show the users the proper way to
use the product by including appropriate information.
• Details and basic information about complex concept for beginners.
• Instruction and step by step procedure to help the new users accomplish
their goals without having wade through a lot of information.
• Specific details that the user wants. Tell them how to do certain takes and
why is should be done ,rather than what the options in a panel are for.
• Explain commands and controls in the context in which they are used.
• If there are several to choose from(explains when to choose the options).
• A complete list of limitation (if appropriate).

• Troubleshooting tips and alternative approach to solve the problems.
5. Tutorial guide
• Tutorial are nothing but solved examples. Each tutorial explains a particular
feature of the product.it may contains sample problems that demonstrated
how to use the features of the products.
• The goal of a tutorial is to help the users and advanced users. Keep in mind
the perspective of the user and focus on their requirement.
• Audience-have a different approach of writing for new users and advanced
users. Keep in mind the perspective of the user and focus on their
requirement.
• Organizational structure:-each tutorial being with a short introduction that
tells users what they are going to learn using that tutorial .
6. Continue……
• Organizational structure:-each tutorial being with a short introduction that
tells users what they are going to learn using that tutorial .
• Mention the prerequisites required for the tutorial.
• If the particular tutorial require an add on or if you need the activate
certain license to run it, mention it upfront.
• Steps involving selection of one option over others should ideally have a
comment that explains why that option should be selected.
• Provide details in areas where the user might ask why they need to do
something to perform the action.
7. CONTENT
• The content tutorial should cater to specific set of users.
• The introductory tutorial are written for new user. Hence it should explains
all the steps in details.
• Advanced tutorial should follow a similar format with less details. You can
assume that advanced user are familiar with the basic elements of the
product.
• For most product only the first tutorial provides explicit instruction for
every step. The remaining tutorials assume that the user is familiar with
common tasks, so can skips the explicit instruction unless the task is new
,unusual or less frequents used.
• Try to keep the instructions close to related panel figure, so that users can
easily refers to the panel while following the steps.
8. WRITING STYLE
• Use instructional style of writing.
• Use you not the user or one to refer to the user.
• Use numbered lists as this is a procedural writing.
• Steps should be written in the imperative form.
• Examples:- incorrect-the ABCD option can be selected in this panel.
• Correct:-select the ABCD option.
9. INSTALLATION GUIDE
• An installation guide contains the procedure for installing a soft
ware.it is usually written in the end of the documentation
development life cycle.so it may not be given adequate time for
review and usability testing causing the errors to creep in.
• Audience:- the audience can range from system admiration who
have experience administering complex system to engineers who
have considerably less experience installing software.
10. Organizational structure
• Organize the book so that it contain separate section for platform
specific information. Do this is instruction differ widely between
operating systems.
• Include separate information for the different
platforms(HP,IBM,SUN,SGI).
• Installation guide should usually have five main topics
:system,requirements,installation,confriguration,llicensing, and
troubleshooting.
11. CONTENT
• The most common problem is that the user cannot install the product
properly. Technical writer can solve this problem by writing clear
installation instruction designed to install the product and get it working as
soon as possible. Apart from the other information also add the following:
• Hardware ,software, database and network requirements.
• Description of system setup and configuration for the first time users of the
software.
• Precautionary information such as notes ,warning caution, and even danger
notices where ever appropriate.

procedure. Use terminology that different groups of user can understand.
12. Release notes
• Release notes lists the new features in major or maintenance release,
without going into any details. The release notes refers users to user’s guide
for information about the new features. Sometimes limitation are listed in
the release notes (not in the users guide).ideally ,every release, major and
minor should have release notes.
• AUDIENCE :-most of the user use the release notes to learn about
functional improvement, new functionalitites,limitation,and setup changes
in the software.
• ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE:- release notes is
organized such that it contains information using which the user get an idea
about the product. Suggested topics for release notes include:
• New features
• New and updated configuration options
• Limitations
13. content
• The release notes contains the following type of information:
• Introduction for new product release or upgrade.
• Description of new features of the product.
• Known issues by suggesting work around.
• Limitation if any.
• Writing style:- use a balanced style for release notes. Use task
based procedures, itemized lists and descriptive writing(to introduced
overview information about the upgrade).
14. Getting started manual
• The getting started manual is actually a booklet included in the standard
product package.it include basic information about the product and instruction
for using the documentation cd.it is generally update only for major release.
• AUDIENCE:-the getting started manual are written for user who may not
have specific technical knowledge.it will give them overview about the
product, without having to wade through all the details in the user’s guide.
• Organization and structure:-the getting started manual is organized
such a way that:
• the information is short and concise ,approximately 100-150 pages.

shows that in such situation users are forced to use the user guide often
resulting in decreased productivity.
• Quick reference guides can help avoid such situation.to create effective
jobs aids, create effective page layout containing the key information the
user may require. Skilled technical writers will know what kind of
information they have to extract from the subjects matters experts and will
communicate the necessary information to the user.
17. ADDENDUM
• An addendum is the booklet that contains information about new features
that are added to a product since its previous release. the addendum is
created or update when ever there is a maintenance release with new

documented in the user guide. That is those feature added to a product for a
maintenance release that dose not warrant update the user guide.
• This way there is no need to update the entire user’s guide and perform the
production tasks for printing it, or publishing it online. This information is
later incorporated into the users guide, during the main release. Use the
same format and style as in the user guide.
