Abstract

Software development typically involves large, decentralized teams, making it difficult to create software that is easy to understand and maintain. This situation highlights the need to code software programs following clear and widely recognized style guides for the language used. However, applying these guides can be complex, especially for junior developers or in time-sensitive scenarios. In this sense, it is important to have not only an approach that allows mapping the guides to attributes and these to their metrics, but also a tool that checks and recommends improvements when the code does not adhere to these guides. This paper illustrates the use of a systematic approach that maps programming style guides to attributes and the metrics that quantify them. Additionally, it demonstrates the use of the JavaStyleInspector tool to analyze Java code and generate reports that facilitate rapid code improvement in alignment with the Google Java Style Guide. The tool's application can have a positive impact on the teaching of style guides in computer science-related careers and on the daily work of a software industry professional.
