Description
Summary:Electronics Art Inc. (EA) is one of the largest game companies in the world with offices all over the globe. A company the size of EA is dependent on many IT systems to maximize production and game development. In today’s competitive market, it is not uncommon that important supportive systems lack documentation due to short development times. These systems may be operative in the short run but may fail in a crisis situation when developers have no documentation of how the system works. An extremely important supportive system that EA use that lack documentation is the Worldwide Built Tracking System (WBTS). It was developed to protect EA’s intellectual property. The purpose of this thesis is to develop and provide an accurate documentation site for WBTS to assist both beginner and expert users at EA in order to improve the users’ productivity and insight of the system. The final result of this work provided the users a direct way to access WBTS system documentation. In this manner, minor questions are answered online. Precious time and resources are saved as basic questions no longer need to go through the EA support team. This enables the users to complete their work more quickly by finding the answers on the created documentation site.
