To document an existing software system, you analyze its code, existing documentation, and human input to capture actual behavior, producing a living blueprint that serves as a single source of truth for functionality and intent.
Establishing shared vocabulary involves analyzing system behavior and existing documentation to identify terminology drift, then generating a unified specification that enforces consistent technical terms across the team.
You identify gaps in understanding by cross-referencing actual code behavior with existing documentation and human input, surfacing undocumented decisions, stale documentation, and missing requirements within the microservice.
Yes, you can generate a system specification reflecting actual runtime behavior by analyzing the code directly, ensuring the resulting living blueprint captures how the system truly operates instead of just its intended design.
No, you do not need existing technical documentation, although it helps; the code analysis process relies primarily on examining the code and gathering human input to document the system's actual behavior.
