3 Documentation Development Process

The development of Huawei documentation adopts the engineering method, which consists ofseveral phases, including planning, development, and commercialization. Deliverables in softand hard copies are provided to the users.

The documentation development synchronizes with the hardware and software development,which includes phases such as requirement analysis, design, development and test.

Huawei Information Development Department is responsible for the development of productdocuments. The development of product documents consists of the following phases:

1. Analyze requirements collected from the customers.2. Make a documentation development plan.3. Design the deliverables of the documentation development.4. Develop the original deliverables of product documents.5. Test and verify the deliverables of the documentation development.6. Release the documents.

The quality of the documentation is guaranteed through the implementation of tasks at differentphases and through the decisive review at the last phase.

The documentation development process is compliant with the TL9000 standards of the QualityExcellence for Suppliers of Telecommunications Forum.
