Validating manuals

[Michelle Vina-Baltsas <Michelle_Vina-Baltsas -at- datascope -dot- com>]

Hello all,

My company QA department wants to begin validating our operating 
instructions against the software user interface (UI) documents . I use 
FrameMaker 7.0 (unstructured) to create the manual and am using 
conditional text to manually trace the UI tags to the specific 
sentences/passages in the FrameMaker file. This is very time consuming and 
tedious. Does anyone have to do this type of tracing to a UI or to another 
document type? If so, how are you doing it? 

Thank you,
