Abstract: Apparatus and method of automatically documenting a codebase. In an embodiment, a mediator partitions a codebase comprising a plurality of software objects into subsets according to a hierarchical structure where software objects of higher layers have code dependencies with software objects of lower layers, submit the subsets of the software objects and context information for the software objects to a code documentation generator in phases starting with a lowest layer of the hierarchical structure, receive summaries of the software objects from the code documentation generator in each of the phases, and store the summaries as content for code documentation. The context information for the software objects submitted in a phase comprises one or more tags generated for the software objects, and one or more of the summaries generated in a prior phase.
