Final Thesis: Automated documentation creation based on implemented data models: An approach to improve user information, process conformance and configuration maintenance

Abstract: This thesis presents a comprehensive approach to addressing the pervasive challenges of manual
documentation within complex software development, with a specific focus on the automotive sector. The core of this research involves the design and implementation of a React JS-based widget seamlessly integrated into the Polarion Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) environment. The document details the widget’s architecture, which leverages Polarion robust data models and API capabilities, and its practical implementation. The anticipated benefits include significant improvements in user information accessibility, enhanced process conformance,
streamlined configuration maintenance, and an overall positive impact on company performance. A central tenet of this work is the widget’s adherence to stringent automotive industry standards, notably ISO 26262 and Automotive SPICE (ASPICE), demonstrating its capacity to foster efficiency and regulatory compliance simultaneously. This work contributes to the field of software engineering by establishing a framework for integrating modern web technologies with enterprise ALM systems, providing a blueprint for similar implementations across different platforms, and quantifying the organizational benefits of automated documentation generation.
