Description
Software Engineering is a profession that requires the collaboration of a wide variety of individuals working together to design, implement, and maintain software applications. Software teams have been incorporating the use of wikis for project collaboration and software documentation. This study examined how a wiki had been used to support the process and documentation on a Government funded software project for over three years. It identified how the wiki had been used on the software project, how effective the wiki was at supporting the software project, and how the wiki could be enhanced to better support the software projects in the future. The content and log files from the wiki were collected and analyzed. The project's overall process was defined and how the wiki was supporting that process was identified. The opinions of the wiki users were obtained by collecting and analyzing the results of a user opinion survey.
