User manuals, reference guides, project documentation, equipment specifications and other technical documents are increasingly subjected to high quality standards. However, it is not clear whether research efforts are keeping pace with this increasing importance of documentation quality. This volume includes studies from researchers as well as practitioners, exemplifying three approaches towards document quality: • Product-orientation, with an eye for usability in various manifestations such as tutorials, concept definitions, tools for users of documentation to find information, methods of eliciting user feedback, and cultural differences; • Process-orientation, in which the quality of technical documentation is regarded as an outgrowth of a process involving sub-steps such as storyboarding, pre-testing and use of automation tools in writing and producing documents; • Professional orientation, in which attention is focused on those who create technical documentation. The volume will be of interest to a broad audience of writers, managers and trainers with technical and non-technical backgrounds, such as: quality managers; communication managers; technical communicators; trainers in computer usage; teachers, researchers and students of (technical) communication.

Quality Control for Technical Documentation has been written primarily for practising technical communicators, but might equally be useful to the student serious about pursuing a career in technical documentation, or engineers and programmers looking to embrace a change of vocation in whole or in part. The purpose of this book is to foster the idea that quality management should be an integral part of every technical documentation project. Without teaching any particular philosophy, the book introduces the technical communicator to a variety of approaches to quality control. It discusses techniques and procedures that can help the technical communicator formulate a programme designed to improve the quality of technical documentation. There are chapters on an introduction to quality management systems, defining a strategy for quality control, the review process and quality assessment.

Translating technical documentation, such as user manuals, online help, and other types of user assistance, is essentially different from translating other forms of documents. If you translate technical documentation in the same way as you translate other texts, chances are that your clients (mostly technical writers) will be quite unhappy with the results. For example, complex language that makes a novel or sales brochure interesting can be exactly what makes a user manual incomprehensible. When translating technical documentation, you should understand how your clients have designed their documents for clearness and simplicity. Only then can your translation reflect the same principles. This book provides you with a compilation of the basic technical writing rules that every technical writer follows. When you adhere to the same rules as you translate, it's almost guaranteed that both writers and readers will be happy with the quality of your work. Audience: Professional translators

Quality Assurance is a fancy name for software testing. It is the part of the application cycle that developers should not do because no one can 'proofread' his own work. Technical Documentation is the written prose of the Development World. Also tucked in this section are directions on how to write user information. This book differentiates itself in that it is short: 107 pages of text with graphics as well as checklists. Why not a longer ode to my profession? Because this book was born out of my sample book that I take on assignment interviews. If you have read my biographical information, you know that I am a self-employed consultant. Can you picture me sitting on a client interview showing a 500 page book in order to demonstrate that I can test? Probably not -> and neither could I.
