Análise da manutenibilidade e qualidade do software Baobah 2.0: um estudo baseado em manutenção refatoração e testes

Abstract

This work explores the reconstruction of the BaoBah software, a digital platform designed to support primary education teachers by providing learning objects focused on historical concepts. The reconstruction was driven by the need to enhance the system’s scalability, maintainability, and security. Previously developed in TypeScript, the code was rewritten in Python using the Django-Rest framework due to the development team’s greater familiarity with these technologies. The code restructuring involved comprehensive refactoring, aiming to make it clearer, more efficient, and aligned with best programming practices. Additionally, the implementation of automated tests played a crucial role in ensuring the integrity of functionalities, allowing the system to maintain its correct operation throughout the development process. The code quality was assessed using the SonarQube tool, which facilitated the detection and correction of issues such as code duplications. This resulted in a significantly more secure, maintainable system, prepared to meet future demands for evolution
