Patent number: 11960881Abstract: A system and method for simplifying the creation of documentation, and especially software documentation. A software application, referred to as a source metadata tagger and document compiler is used to add metadata to a final output document. This metadata contains identifiers that are associated with various source files. In this way, the system can easily determine which source file is being reviewed and/or flagged by the reviewer. This information can be used by the ticketing/notification system to create a work item for the appropriate developer or development group. This is vastly simpler than the current system, where human intervention is required to determine which source file is being flagged.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Silicon Laboratories Inc.Inventors: Nicholas Ryan Wellinghoff, Stephen Hahn, Yi-Yang Chen, Bradford Stewart
