Empowering the world’s top engineering teams

Reshaping the future of software

CodeScene was founded in 2015 by Adam Tornhill, the author of Your Code as a Crime Scene. After decades in software, Adam realized that software projects rarely fail because of messy code alone — they fail because organizations lack visibility into how their teams actually work with the code.

His breakthrough was simple but powerful. By analyzing how a codebase evolves over time and visualizing how teams interact with it, he made it possible to pinpoint the parts of a system that slow delivery and carry the greatest business risk — the high-impact technical debt.

That idea became CodeScene, the only tool that prioritizes technical debt by organizational impact and continuously adapts to your priorities, your teams, and your evolving codebase.

We turn hidden code health issues into business advantages and help prevent tomorrow’s risks.

Our mission

At CodeScene, our mission is to transform the way engineering teams understand, prioritize, and act on their code. We go beyond traditional static analysis by combining code metrics with behavioral insights, helping organizations reduce technical debt, improve code health, and make smarter, data-driven decisions.

Backed by award-winning research, CodeScene empowers developers and technical leaders with actionable feedback that drives real business impact.

Enter Senior Director of Engineering at VidMob

“Everyone with big legacy codebases has developers telling them that “we need to rewrite all of these things”. But you can’t focus on everything at once. How do you make the right decisions around where to invest your resources? CodeScene helps prioritize development and refactoring efforts to areas that will have the biggest impact and return on investment."

CTO at SmartCraft

“No tools on the market could help us tackle technical debt in a data driven way - until we came across CodeScene. Explaining technical debt is very frustrating, and not having metrics or data to refer to is even worse. CodeScene solves this in a very elegant way by visualizing the problems, costs and risks but also offering solutions - in so many ways, not just technical debt."

“Other similar tools don’t have the analysis of what files you are working with most and what code quality these files have. So, we can make sure that we are improving the files that we constantly need to update and that we don’t maybe need to update them as much in the future.”
