Usage Statements

An important consideration when working on a short term contract is making sure your software can be used by others after your contract ends.

Even with long term projects, there will most likely come a time when your software will be used by others, and you will no longer be available.

In addition to descriptive design documentation and well commented code, Usage Statements increase the usability of your software, and help

users with point-of-contact information on how to use the program.
