Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em Sistemas de Informação) - Departamento de Computação e Tecnologia, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Caicó, 2025.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/62056This work analyzes the quality of documentation for ORM libraries in the Node.js ecosystem, addressing the importance of documentation for the efficiency and maintenance of software projects. The research was motivated by the identification of gaps in the literature and in development practices, proposing clear and objective criteria for evaluating documentation. The adopted methodology included a systematic and comparative analysis of five ORM libraries, using metrics such as update frequency, completeness, ease of use, presence of code examples, and readability. The results revealed significant discrepancies between the documentation and the source code, highlighting the need for improvements in documentation maintenance. Additionally, the study emphasized the risks associated with low-quality documentation, such as misunderstandings and the introduction of errors in projects. The conclusions reinforce the relevance of clear guidelines and best practices in documentation, aiming to facilitate developers' work and foster engagement in open-source communities. This work contributes to the creation of more accessible and effective documentation aligned with market needs and opens ways for future investigations into the relationship between documentation quality and the success of software libraries.Documentação de softwareBibliotecas ORMQualidade da documentaçãoSoftware documentationORM LibrariesbachelorThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA
