I really like the Delivery Performance functionalities that allows me to rapidly visualize and act on the most important lead time metrics such as Lead Time for Changes or Planned vs Unplanned work. This insight and the possibility to quickly identify areas in our code with highest technical debt and complexity, areas that leads to quality issues, is a killer feature

Enabled my team to be faster

CodeScene as a company has been highly responsive to my input over the whole course of my engagement with them.  My suggestions based on real-world usage contributed to improvement in the products.  Throughout my entire engagement, the CodeScene team has stayed highly engaged to make sure I was getting the most out of the product.  Opening the tool for the first time was a truly exciting experience, and the more I learned, the more excited and empowered I got.

CodeScene Provides Actionable Insights

CodeScene is one of the best visual tools to identify pull requests that leads to technical debts.

One of the best code quality controlling software!

Just recently I had the privilege of doing a formal analysis of the code base of the client using CodeScene. I spent two days analysing the code base of around 35 active developers. The company wanted to see if some of the difficulties they had could be better understood by looking at the code and more importantly by looking at the interaction patterns with the code.

My peers were thrilled at the level of understanding they could acquire in such a short timespan! Not only does it give hope in showing that it's only a small fraction of the technical debt that actually counts, including which part! But it also gives valuable insights into concerns around the code, like team organisation, developer turnover and even product management difficulties.

I've been using CodeScene for more than a year now. I'm a technical coach and as I get to see a lot of different teams. CodeScene really improves my understanding each team's situation and thus I can be of better use to them.

Tools are only tools numbers are only numbers but when a tool is making the invisible visible then it is really, really useful for making more informed decisions!

Making the invisible visible

Above all else, I appreciated that CodeScene would provide data to check my instincts about where and when to apply more effort to improve a design. As a developer, CodeScene’s hot spot feature helped me feel more confident (or helped me find another candidate) when I identified an area to improve. As a team manager, the metrics and graphs in CodeScene gave our team a way to monitor progress as we worked on a several week effort to make small, incremental improvements to a tricky area of code.

New insights into your code and organization

CodeScene prioritises the biggest bottlenecks in our projects. It finds the code improvements that give the biggest improvement in the development and maintenance of our codebases. We use CodeScene to XRAY our codebases quickly and improve the structure of our code and sometimes even the structure of our teams. We use it as a guide for work conversations and code / project reviews and to assess (external) codebases. The super easy setup, leading to detailed insights, led to explosive growth of the service within our company. We didn't have to put a lot of effort into the adoption; CodeScene sells itself.

The right way to manage technical debt.

CodeScene has helped us find ways to improve the productivity of our development teams and measure our success. Ultimately improving how quickly we can deliver value to the business.

Improving developer productivity through data driven decisions

Thanks a lot for your review, Patrick! Highly appreciated!

I particularly like your observations around the CI/CD integration. This is a prioritised area for CodeScene that we will continue to evolve. We believe in pushing relevant information to existing developer workflows. That way, the information is available when it's needed the most which in turn makes it actionable.

Once again: thanks!!

I am really satisfied with CodeScene becuase it is more than just a static analysis tool, it provide and overview of the real problemens and what to focus on in am easy-to-use package.

A new standard for quality assurance

CodeScene screenshot: Get instant feedback on your code with real prioritizations on how your software projects are performing. Filter by team, measure progress and use in retrospectives and daily stand ups. 

CodeScene screenshot: Use File Level Hotspots Map's Code Health to get a quick assessment of potential technical debt or maintenance problems, prioritize issues and actions based on impact. 

CodeScene screenshot: Identify refactoring targets that should be dealt with first. Remediating technical debt or code quality issues in the red refactoring targets is likely to quickly produce a real return on your refactoring investment.


CodeScene screenshot: CodeScene offers an automated integration with GitHub, BitBucket, Azure DevOps or GitLab pull requests to incorporate the Delta Analysis results into existing delivery workflows. Detect code quality issues early on and get recommendations. 

CodeScene screenshot: Understand distribution over time across your projects. Code familiarity describes how much of the codebase is known by the current team, Knowledge islands describes how much of the codebase is known only by a single developer. 

CodeScene screenshot: Using the Knowledge Risk view, you can further drill down and identify the areas where your system is vulnerable. Are there any high-risk modules with code health issues written by only one developer? What would happen if that person would leave? 

CodeScene screenshot: Reverse Engineer Team Dynamics from Code. Visualize dependencies between teams and developers in a codebase. CodeScene combines measures of Team Coupling and Team Cohesion.

CodeScene screenshot: Detect and correct delivery risks. CodeScene uses a machine learning algorithm that is trained to detect technical risks.

CodeScene screenshot: Using the cost trends, CodeScene’s technical analysis ensures your code is evolving in the right direction and it evaluates the effect of technical and organizational improvements resulting from the other analyses.

CodeScene screenshot: Identify most expensive parts of the code. CodeScene allows you to specify goals for each hotspot to manage identified technical debt. Your goals are then automatically supervised, and CodeScene provides alerts for any code changes that violate a goal.
