Catch issues early

Code Health monitoring in real-time

The Code Health Monitor detects code smells such as complex methods, God functions, and more than 25+ other code quality issues. Address problems before they impact your overall Code Health. Is the file you're working on improving or declining over time?

Industry-leading Code Health™ KPI

Why trust our Metric?

Our Code Health™ metric combines 25+ factors from your code. Our IDE extension and code reviews use this proven metric to deliver clear, research-backed recommendations—resulting in 2× faster development, 15× fewer bugs, and up to 10× improvement in meeting delivery deadlines.
