TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I used to work in a place that the point where we had a functional
application would start creating daily builds. We could install these on our
test machine. They might be buggy enough to require a reinstall of the
operating system, so we were not supposed to load applications on production
machines.
Using a daily build and the RH What's This Help Compiler, you could see
everything that changed from one build to the next. We did not rely on the
programmers to tell us what was or did change. Doing this allowed us to stay
ahead of the curve. It did help, however, to know when a new piece of
functionality was expected. And, we had enough meetings with the developers
and the rest of the product team not to be isolated or out of the loop.
