CodeScene's social metrics support organizations that do Pair programming. Here is how it works.
When we started developing CodeScene, our overall goal was to show that there is more to code than code; we wanted to highlight–and make actionable–all the information that is invisible in the code itself.
One such prominent piece of information is the social dimension of code, like inter-team coordination needs, on- and off-boarding information, and much more. Today, the social analyses pioneered by CodeScene are one of our most powerful features.
All of CodeScene’s social metrics are based on the author information as recorded by Git. Because Git only recognizes one author per commit, this may not reflect the social reality of your code if your organization does pair or mob programming where more than one person contributes to a single change. Thus, we have worked hard to also cover those scenarios. Let’s see how it works
Configure for Pair Programming
A typical pair programming setup involves committing code from a Git account shared between all team members, and then specifying the actual authors in the commit messages. The next figure shows an example:
Adam Tornhill is a programmer who combines degrees in engineering and psychology. He’s the founder and CTO of CodeScene where he designs tools for code analysis. Adam is also a recognized international speaker and the author of multiple technical books, including the best selling Your Code as a Crime Scene and Software Design X-Rays. Adam’s other interests include modern history, music, retro computing, and martial arts.
