How to Perform the Documentation Quality Check (DQC)?

he main goal of the Documentation Quality Check (DQC) is to check how adequate the architecture documentation is for its audience and purposes. The evaluation checks both the content and the representation of the architecture documentation. Thinking from the perspective of the audience and considering the purposes of the documentation helps to rate the adequacy of the documentation. In addition, principles of good documentation, such as structure, uniformity, or traceability, can be checked. These principles are determined by the mental capabilities of the readers and can be used across domains and system types.
