軟件文檔或者源代碼文檔是指與軟件系統(tǒng)及其軟件工程過程有關(guān)聯(lián)的文本實(shí)體。文檔的類型包括軟件需求文檔，設(shè)計(jì)文檔，測(cè)試文檔，用戶手冊(cè)等。其中的需求文檔，設(shè)計(jì)文檔和測(cè)試文檔一般是在軟件開發(fā)過程中由開發(fā)者寫就的，而用戶手冊(cè)等非過程類文檔是由專門的非技術(shù)類寫作人員寫就的。
 
早期的軟件文檔主要指的是用戶手冊(cè)，根據(jù)Barker的定義，文檔是用來對(duì)軟件系統(tǒng)界面元素的設(shè)計(jì)、規(guī)劃和實(shí)現(xiàn)過程的記錄，以此來增強(qiáng)系統(tǒng)的可用性。而Forward則認(rèn)為軟件文檔是被軟件工程師之間用作溝通交流的一種方式，溝通的信息主要是有關(guān)所開發(fā)的軟件系統(tǒng)。Parnas則強(qiáng)調(diào)文檔的權(quán)威性，他認(rèn)為文檔應(yīng)該提供對(duì)軟件系統(tǒng)的精確描述。
 
綜上，我們可以將軟件文檔定義為：

1.文檔是一種對(duì)軟件系統(tǒng)的書面描述；
2.文檔應(yīng)當(dāng)精確地描述軟件系統(tǒng)；
3.軟件文檔是軟件工程師之間用作溝通交流的一種方式；
4.文檔的類型有很多種，包括軟件需求文檔，設(shè)計(jì)文檔，測(cè)試文檔，用戶手冊(cè)等；
5.文檔的呈現(xiàn)方式有很多種，可以是傳統(tǒng)的書面文字形式或圖表形式，也可是動(dòng)態(tài)的網(wǎng)頁形式

Help on wrapper_descriptor:

__mul__(...)
    x.__mul__(n) <==> x*n

>>> print(list.__mul__.__doc__)     #與help(list.__mul__)顯示的內(nèi)容一致
x.__mul__(n) <==> x*n

>>> print(list.index.__doc__)       #查看index的文檔
L.index(value, [start, [stop]]) -> integer -- return first index of value.
Raises ValueError if the value is not present.
