Abstract
Documentation is one of the most neglected activities in Software Engineering, although it is an important method of assuring quality and understanding. Bioinformatics software is generally written by researchers from fields other than Computer Science who usually do not provide documentation. Documenting bioinformatics software may ease its adoption in multidisciplinary teams and expand its impact on the community. In this paper, we highlight how one can document software that is already finished, using reverse engineering and thinking of the end-user.
