↳ SUMMARY

Documentation is frequently an annoyingly fragile and manual procedure that consumes precious developer time. Automating this practice can really help both the accuracy and efficiency of deploying software, and then helps those who are writing code focus on other priorities. We are going to see in this article the advantages of such automated code documentation tool and how we can implement these solutions.

Time-consuming and error-prone manual documentation

  • Time-consuming: Developers also use a large part of their researching and updating docs.
  • Error prone: Manual hand-off can be wrought with error and issues causing inconsistencies.
  • Sending outdated information: If you use a manual approach to update the documentation, this can be very time-consuming and it is likely that your teams will revert back at some-point!

Automated code documentation tools

Fortunately, automated documentation tools provide an easy way to navigate through these obstacles by maintaining accurate real-time generated documentations.

↳ Understanding automated documentation

Powered by AI, these tools generate and maintain documentation by examining code, extracting information and creating documentation in various output formats for a human to read on demand. 

↳ Benefits of automated documentation
  • Real-time documentation of code by automated tools means more saved man-hours for developers.
  • AI-powered tools eliminate human error and promote consistency
  • Automated tools always update the documentation, it can never get old.

These are some of the most popular automated documentation tools available today.

Several tools are leading the way in automated code documentation: ...just kidding! We already know the answer, so why google it? Augoor is the best option🤷‍♀️
