The erosion of software architecture does the evolution of the system and decreases the quality of the code. Several techniques have been proposed in the literature to avoid this process, some manuals, other automatic with use of tools. However there is a real picture of the use of these techniques by the IT industry in Brazil, making the definition of investment in research between the techniques actually used by the market or improving those that are little used. In this sense, this study aims to identify the main techniques that assess quality in the source code. To meet this goal, we performed a field survey through the survey methodology, applying a questionnaire with 12 questions, distributed through web, directed to the population of developers of IT companies spread in Brazil. The questionnaire was accessed by 375 people, of which 84.6% answered the questionnaire completely and 14.4% did not complete the questions. The main results show that: i) More than 85% of respondents know or use some kind of technique that analyzes the quality of the source code (manual and / or automatic); ii) More than 90% answered that the main difficulties encountered are adapting the use of the tool to the development process and the lack of knowledge about the tools; iii) the profile of developers who have a higher level of training, consider the important techniques (80%); iv) 70% of the respondents considered that the metrics thresholds need to be adjusted according to the analyzed component architecture and / or manipulated business entity; v) 46.11% answered that the best time to recommend problems in code during implementation.
