Docs as Code

Docs as Code

Docs-as-code tools seek to bridge the gap between software development and documentation. By treating documentation as code, docs-as-code tools integrate software development practices such as continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), version control, and automation when it comes to creating and publishing documentation. Key types of docs-as-code tools include Markdown editors, static site generators, versioning tools, CI/CD tools, and dynamic doc sites.

Tech Writer’s Tribe conducted a survey to find out which tools are used by technical documentation team members. 529 participants from 78 cities in 12 countries participated in the survey. The survey had six primary sections and the results were divided into 16 categories. The categories include authoring tools, image/video/illustration tools, API documentation tools, CMS, CCMS, Docs as code process tools, versioning tools, and In-App tools.

The survey includes reports about tools used for the following:

  • Authoring Options
  • Version Control Systems
  • Static Site Generators
  • Dynamic Site Generators
  • Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) Tools
  • Platforms for Documentation site hosting
