My thoughts on automation engineering

Living documentation

1. • The living documentation provide what is called „the single source of truth“. It is not only about test specifications and features examples. It is something that lives and grows with the system.
   

2. • When done right, this living documentation will be consistent, easy to read and easy to access. It will also be reliable, precise and comprehensive because of the tests.
   

3. • But what is if the documentation could be simply executed as a test? What is if anyone could just choose some examples to validate against a defined system state? Based on this idea, I‘ve started the livedocs project, which is based on relishapp but with the difference that the documentation can be executed on demand.
   

4. • The project should go live soon and it will be released under the MIT License.
