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:
Complex code slows down development productivity, increases the delivery risk, and leads to excess maintenance costs.
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.
