Code analysis for every factor of code quality

Improving code quality starts with understanding the contextual factors that affect your existing code health, and ends with increasing maintainability and reducing technical debt.

For the past, present, and future of code.

CodeScene's core features for improving code quality

Each of CodeScene’s core features for code quality are one piece of the end-to-end workflow technical leaders need to not only identify improvement areas, but make data-driven decisions for prioritizations and visualize the impact of those decisions.

Truly understand your codebase

Code Health

Code health is an aggregate metric created by CodeScene to give you a complete code quality score informed by the many factors that impact code, not just the code itself. Understand your overall performance, and drill down file by file to see where risks and priorities lie.

Website Hotspots Visualization

Easily identify activity

Hotspots

Hotspots are powerful visualizations to see where your devs are most active in the codebase. Hotspots have the most commits and even a minor amount of technical debt in them may be painful and expensive.

Features

Hotspots

Hotspots are powerful visualizations to see where your devs are most active in the code base. Hotspots have the most commits and most change frequencies, and their code quality might be vital

Integrate with devs’ workflow

Automated code reviews and pull request integrations

Whatever your current code quality level is now, you want to ensure it doesn't get worse. Make automated code reviews and the pull request integration integral parts of your dev workflow so that all code is better code.

Get real actionable insights

Refactoring targets

Not all legacy code is bad code, and not all bad code requires immediate attention. So how do you know where to start when making improvements to your existing code quality? CodeScene uses intelligent data to pinpoint the refactoring targets that will have the most impact on improving and reducing your technical debt based on the intersection of low code health and high change frequency.

Sliders

Set quality gates

CodeScene differs from other tools by using code quality gates set by trends, not by absolute values.

Target

Add goals

An augmented analysis adds contextual information to hotspots as intelligent goals that helps you manage technical debt.

Code Health

View Code Health trends

Understand if files are Hotspots because they get more complicated over time with code complexity trends.

Filter

Filter by team

Make the code health data actionable by breaking down insights to the team level to better understand discrepancies.

Recommendation

X-ray a file

Narrow down large files with even thousands of lines of code to  identify priorities for refactoring.

Automated Code Reviews

Create system maps

Code quality is also dependent on system architecture. View code health on the system level.

“Total gamechanger for software development”

"Seriously, this is a game-changer. CodeScene's hotspots help us zero in on those tricky parts of our codebase that might be causing headaches. It's like having a guide showing you where the potholes are on a road so you can dodge them.Beyond the hotspots, the tool offers some pretty nifty metrics about code health and team dynamics. It's not just about the code; it's also about how we work together as a team."

“With CodeScene we are able to see where we will benefit the most from reducing technical debt”

"With integrated quality gates, we can react instantly during code reviews to not even let bad code go unnoticed and enter our production pipelines."
