CodeScene Demo - Identify Hotspots with hidden risks - prioritize low code health issues based on impact

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 looks both at code metrics and how development organization works with the code. Because it includes social and te...

CodeScene Demo - Prioritize Refactoring Targets based on Impact

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 employs algorithms that look at deeper change patterns in the an...

CodeScene Demo - Social Side of the Code - understand organization building the code

CodeScene – with its additional data sources – can analyze aspects like knowledge distribution, team coupling, and off-boarding risks. Modularity alone doesn’t guarantee a successful software architecture. The organization which builds the code has been invisible in the code itself. Organi...

CodeScene Demo - Automate Code Reviews - Integrate CodeScene with Pull Requests

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. The purposes of CodeScene’s pull request integration ...

CodeScene Demo - Identify Knowledge gaps in your teams

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 the company? Consider on-boarding another person in...

You'll quickly understand how you can visualize codebases of any size and pinpoint technical debt that is slowing you down using Hotspot Maps. You'll also understand how to refactor code based based on the biggest benefits.

In this demonstration, we'll explore essential techniques and key organizational metrics crucial for the success of any software project. How can we measure and mitigate the risks of the Bus Factor?

In this demo we point out technical debt – a refactoring target – that we want to improve. Using CodeScene ACE’s extension for VS code we automatically refactor the relevant code smells using AI-gen.

CodeScene integrates with pull requests to provide feedback and detect code quality issues via an automated code review. It's a helps development teams by serving as a quality gate and an early feedback loop. Only merge quality code.

We bring the Code Health analysis directly into your VS Code editor with our IDE extension. Tackle code complexity right within the editor, only commit high quality code. All popular programming languages are supported.

How Does CodeScene Differ From Static Analysis Tools?

How Can You Measure The Business Cost of Low Code Quality?

G2 reviews are authentic and verified.

Here's how.

"Great tool for understanding and measuring the maintainability of a code base"

4.5/5

What do you like best about CodeScene?

Helps quantify the maintainability of your codebase and provides targeted areas to refactor problematic code. Understanding your code Hotspots and high-churn modules is important when prioritizing technical debt. It also does a great job of helping understand interactions between teams within the same code base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodeScene?

I love that I can configure the rules in a settings file that is committed alongside the code but it could be easier to modify static analysis settings on a per file/per method basis. For example, I'd like to disable a rule on a method with a comment like /* code-scene ignore: function_max_arguments */

Happy to update the review, if this is already possible Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best tool for visualizing technical debt"

5/5

What do you like best about CodeScene?

The best is how CodeScene vizulize our code. Showing potential hotspot and focus areas. Pointing you in the right direction of code that has low health and is used a lot so you can focus your refactoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodeScene?

It has slowed down the velocity of the developers as we use the PR (Pull Request) integration in CodeScene, because it instantly shows if you've changed the code health for the better or worse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CodeScene helps us keep our code healthy"

4.5/5

What do you like best about CodeScene?

CodeScene makes it very easy to surface technical debt and assists in continuously monitoring your code health. It even gives you clear instructions on fixing code health declines. We've had great experiences with Stephen, who is always available for questions and assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodeScene?

There's A LOT of information in CodeScene, and it's sometimes hard to know what information to focus on and to fully understand the information CodeScene is presenting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CodeScene solving and how is that benefiting you?

As the size of our codebase increases, it's hard for developers to identify places of technical debt. CodeScene solves this by clearly showing which areas of your code are potential problems. It also helps us to continuously understand the impact of our changes by integrating with our Pull Requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A new standard for quality assurance"

4.5/5

What do you like best about CodeScene?

By starting on a high level you get a good overview of the most problematic areas and then you can drill down and look at the details and see where your real problems are. Combined with trend analysis, code biomarkers and other features like analyzing social interaction between teams, i.e. are they all over the place or in their own modules, make it a versatile tool when working with quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodeScene?

It does not get any better than the data you are using. If you have not commented on your pull requests or check-ins correctly, to be able to trace e.g. defects in certain areas, then it will, of course, be challenging to make any conclusions. Even though you get a very good visual overview of your data, the user interface can be improved to make it slightly more user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CodeScene solving and how is that benefiting you?

This tool provides answers to many of your questions in a fast and manageable way. The whole idea of using historical data, together with the different features CodeScene offers, makes it much easier to guide your improvement work and improve the quality of your code base, including your test code.

"Enabled my team to be faster"

4.5/5

What do you like best about CodeScene?

I like the Delivery Performance functionalities that allow me to rapidly visualize and act on the most critical 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 the highest technical debt and complexity, areas that lead to quality issues, is a killer feature.

What do you dislike about CodeScene?

The user interface could be more intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
