For this phenomenon, a teaching method of writing software documentation is proposed in this paper, in which the software maintenance is the driving force to make students fully understand and grasp the method of software documentation writing through an upgrade and maintenance software project. And students learn to write effective software documentation to establish the level and structure of the document.
