چکیده (انگلیسی):

Document source code is seen as a boring time consuming task by several developers. However, a welldocumented
source code, allow developers to have a better visibility into what was and is being developed,
helping, for example, the reuse of the code. This study presents a semi-automatic method for documentation
of source code from the existing artifacts in a software project under development. The method aims to
reduce developer’s workload, allowing them to work on other tasks of the project and/or ensure that the
project deadlines will be met. The method, implemented in a tool, called Comente+, is capable of
creating or updating comments into a source code from gathered information recovered from the project
artifacts. To implement Comente+, we used an information retrieval approach. We performed some
experiments with real data to validate this approach. For that, we created a special measure that estimates
how well documented a source code is.
