Enhancing Documentation Coverage Metrics in Swift DocC

Name: Qursam Bibi
University: University of Lahore (2nd Year, Information Engineering Technology)
Skills: C++ (strong DSA background), Swift, TypeScript (basic), familiarity with LSP
As a developer passionate about documentation quality, I want to improve Swift DocC's experimental coverage feature to provide better insights into documentation completeness. Currently, developers lack standardized ways to measure and visualize documentation gaps across their codebases.
This project will:

  1. Design an extensible output format for coverage metrics
  2. Implement measurable metric types (Boolean, Fraction, Percentage)
  3. Explore visualization approaches for IDEs and CI systems

Implementation Approach
I'll work on:

  • The DocC compiler to generate structured coverage data
  • Sample implementations demonstrating metric visualization
  • Community proposals for feature standardization
    My Qualifications
  • Strong Swift skills from iOS development experience
  • Familiarity with documentation tools and formats
  • Technical writing ability for clear specifications
    Impact
    These improvements will:
  • Help teams identify undocumented APIs more efficiently
  • Enable better documentation quality tracking
  • ProvIde foundation for future tooling integration
    As a detail-oriented developer, I'm excited to contribute to Swift's documentation ecosystem. I've already begun exploring DocC's architecture and am prepared to deliver these enhancements during GSoC 2025.
    This project aligns perfectly with my interests in developer tools and documentation systems, and I look forward to making Swift documentation more measurable and maintainable for the entire community.
