ABSTRACT:
A system for guiding the browsing/tracking of software development documents and their relationships contains several components. A procedure definition defines the software development procedure. An interface allows users to select phase, activity, and system components and execute other utility programs or choose options. A browser interpreter interprets the selection and decides how to form and execute each command. A command-composer composes the commands for execution. A project file contains the information about system components, physical locations of the system documents, documentation tools associated with documents, options selected, hyper-links to the documents, etc . . . A state-checker checks the status of the documents and reports it upon the users' request and a document repository stores documents.
