Abstract

We propose a software process that involves with the additions of the description for each AWTBD (Acronym or Word to be described) at the beginning of web-based technical articles, which include software requirements. For each AWTBD, the approach requires the creations of hyperlinks, pointing to its location of its description, at each occurrence of the AWTBD later in the article. The result of the approach may accelerate the comprehension of the technical article by its readers. We also present a software tool that implements the software process. The software tool automates the creations of the hyperlinks for the AWTBDs. As an illustration of the usefulness of this process, we present two examples of applying the software tool.
