Provisioning of software documentation based on target user

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations for managing documentation for software used to provide computer-implemented services, the operations comprising:

• making an identification of an occurrence of a documentation generation event for the software;
• and
• based on the identification:
• identifying software development elements used to produce the software,
• identifying a user type of the documentation based on information regarding a user of the software as indicated by the occurrence of the documentation generation event,
• obtaining relevant flow data based on the user type, the relevant flow data indicating features of the software that are likely to be accessed by the user,
• identifying a portion of available content from the software development elements,
• dynamically defining, using at least the portion of the available content and the relevant flow data, a structure for the documentation, and
• automatically generating the documentation using the structure and the portion of the available content.

A data processing system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause operations for managing documentation for software used to provide computer-implemented services to be performed, the operations comprising:
• making an identification of an occurrence of a documentation generation event for the software, and
• based on the identification:
• identifying software development elements used to produce the software,
• identifying a user type of the documentation based on information regarding a user of the software as indicated by the occurrence of the documentation generation event;
• obtaining relevant flow data based on the user type, the relevant flow data indicating features of the software that are likely to be accessed by the user;
• identifying a portion of available content from the software development elements;
• dynamically defining, using at least the portion of the available content and the relevant flow data, a structure for the documentation;
• and
• automatically generating the documentation using the structure and the portion of the available content.
