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. Back in 2014, I claimed that the "intersection between people and code is an often overlooked aspect of software development. When there’s a misalignment between how you’re organized versus the work style your software architecture supports, code quality and communication suffers." (Your Code as a Crime Scene). We've all seen it happen, and it's painful.
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.

Behavioral code analysis is a young discipline.
Security vulnerabilities correlate with low code health, development hotspots, and a high author churn in the organization.
