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.
