Method and system for providing documentation and training in software development activity

A system and method (100) for generating software documentation and training materials within a software development activity are described. The system includes a software coding module (111), a user interface module (114), and a testing module (112) for providing an integrated testing environment within a software development system. The testing module (112) includes an automated documentation generation module (211) for generating documentation for an application and related software modules and an automated software training generation module (211) for generating user training materials for an application and related software modules. The automated documentation generation module (211) and the automated software training generation module (212) utilize software specification structure defining the application and related software modules.
