Abstract
En 中文
This research article addresses the effectiveness of documentation as a critical but frequently underestimated factor for the sustainability of software projects. Starting from the premise that many projects are abandoned due to deficient management and increasing technical complexity, this study aimed to objectively quantify documentation and versioning practices within a work team engaged in software development at a financial institution. The research is grounded in a theoretical framework that connects code clarity, agile methodologies, and version control with team productivity and long-term project viability. The methodology consisted of a quantitative and empirical analysis, using an automated script to examine 1,294 commits from four critical software repositories during the second quarter of 2025. The instrument measured adherence to the Conventional Commits standard as an indicator of quality and discipline in change documentation. The results revealed a low consolidated compliance rate of only 24.34%, evidencing a significant gap between recommended best practices and their actual application.
