Message-ID: <1994Oct25.170005.27711@sei.cmu.edu> (raw)
Is there any document or source of information that provides
an accepted (?) ratio (lines of documentation / lines of code) for a
software design document (SDD)?
Talking with people around me, I got values between 10 and 0.1,
but no rationale other than: "the description has to be complete and
sufficient to allow modifications" and stuff like that.
