Our blogs walk you through usecases and show you how to make the most of CodeScene and your code. Our developers share best practices and cover topics less explored, but so valuable to development organizations.
Code quality is a largely subjective concept filled with misbeliefs. One such idea is that there's an inevitable trade-off between speed and quality. According to that line of thinking, writing properly designed code would slow us down. Another commonly held belief is that when we talk about improving code, we're somehow at risk for over-engineering.

At CodeScene we are proud to announce that we've launched an IDE extension offering Code Health feedback in real-time.
Roku's BrightScript language is a popular choice for building media applications on embedded devices. BrightScript is a dynamic and interpreted language with some fun features like first-class functions. Roku, the platform, is one of the most popular OTT streaming devices with its 3500+ channels reaching 80 million people in the U.S. alone.
Technical Debt is a hot topic these days. Companies in different industries struggle with walls of technical debt to somehow overcome.
Technical debt can have devastating outcomes for organizations, as we recently have seen. But it doesn't have to be like that. It doesn't have to cripple or affect your company.
Adam Tornhill, our founder and CTO, has been accepted into Forbes Technology Council, an invitation-only community for world-class CIOs, CTOs, and technology executives.
Dr. Markus Borg brings two decades’ worth of research experience in software engineering and artificial intelligence to the company. CodeScene continues on its industry-leading path to transform the way all stakeholders in software development think about code.
Getting the organizational side of software right is just as important as any properties of the code.
Most of us wouldn’t necessarily assume that offender profiling provides us with insights on how to create better software. Programming and homicide is fortunately a rare combination in the software industry, yet Adam Tornhill sees this as a great starting point.
Everyone in the software industry "knows" that code quality is important, yet we never had any data to prove it. Consequently, the importance of a healthy codebase is largely undervalued at the business level.
We set out to remove the quotation marks so that "knows" becomes knows. We recently published new research that for the first time quantifies the business benefit of high-quality code. Here are the key takeaways:
The Rust programming language has grown in popularity since its initial release back in 2010. Rust keeps showing up as the most loved programming language in StackOverflow’s annual survey, it has a rich ecosystem and active support by several large companies. It’s here to stay.
As 2021 draws to a close, we would like to share with you some of the latest features ready and waiting for you in CodeScene. But before that, we would like to take this opportunity to wish you a fun-filled festive season and New Year!
The main difference between CodeScene’s behavioral code analysis and traditional code scanning techniques is that static analysis works on a snapshot of the codebase while CodeScene considers the temporal dimension and evolution of the whole system.
Watch CodeScene run the latest analysis results of your favorite open-source project.
Behavioral code analysis is a young discipline.
Security vulnerabilities correlate with low code health, development hotspots, and a high author churn in the organization.
Four decades ago, Fred Brooks coined what we now know as Brooks’s Law: ”adding human resources to a late software project makes it later”.
Complex code slows down development productivity, increases the delivery risk, and leads to excess maintenance costs.
