Software Documentation refers to written materials that describe a software system's design, functionality, APIs, and usage instructions, aimed at developers, testers, and end users. It includes technical specs, code comments, README files, API references, and user manuals. Good documentation is essential for onboarding new team members, maintaining code over time, and enabling third parties to integrate with a system.
