Reestruturação da ferramenta do ComPensar.

Abstract

Computational Thinking is based on skills acquired through Computer Science. From this foundation emerged ComPensar, a web tool aimed at developing computational thinking alongside mathematics, targeted at basic education. Its structure is based on classifying mathematical questions according to the computational thinking skills that can be stimulated during the problem-solving process. However, various factors led to its transformation into a legacy and inoperative system. The absence of contributions over more than four years resulted in the obsolescence of the technologies used in both the frontend and backend of the tool. Additionally, the inactivity of the ComPensar hosting service, due to the lack of requests from users, led to the loss of the database due to a lack of queries. Identifying these problems highlighted the need for software reengineering along with reverse engineering, aiming to rebuild the system with more recent technologies. This process was divided into stages that culminated in the development of a new version of ComPensar, now available for public access. In one of these stages, evaluations were conducted to understand the level of customer satisfaction with the delivered software, as well as performance and indexing analyses in search engines. The results were positive. In the performance analysis, ComPensar received good ratings in categories such as accessibility, best practices, and SEO (Search Engine Optimization). These results contributed to the tool's visibility in search engines, which use data from these categories, such as content loading and accessibility, in assigning scores to ComPensar in search engines.
