Stay on track with healthy code

Improve delivery accuracy and reduce risks

Unhealthy code has 9x more uncertainty in completion time. By identifying, prioritizing and managing unhealthy code in high-risk areas, CodeScene improves estimation accuracy and reduces the risk of late deliveries.

Improve code quality, deliver exceptional products

Address critical technical debt,
CodeScene's 4-step method 

Number one teal

Identify critical technical debt with targeted refactoring

CodeScene highlights high-risk areas of critical technical debt that lead to more bugs or slower development, which we call Refactoring Targets. This helps teams prioritize impactful changes, making code more maintainable and stable.

Number two teal

Quantify the business impact of reducing technical debt

Show managers how technical debt impacts development speed and business goals. By linking tech debt to delivery performance, it provides data to show its effect on team efficiency and product quality, justifying reduction efforts to stakeholders.

Number three teal

Make it actionable via automated code reviews

CodeScene integrates with Pull Request reviews, guiding developers to address prioritized technical debt through detailed insights and recommendations in their daily workflow. Integrate with GitHub, BitBucket, Azure DevOps, and GitLab.

Number four teal

Integrate in development process

Devs can act on feedback and issues as they're writing the code. Integrate local quality gates with CodeScene's CLI tool and IDE extension. Only merge high quality code and prevent any new technical debt accumulation or code health declines.

Unhealthy code has 9x more uncertainty in completion time. What risk are you taking? 

Award-winning, industry-leading code-quality metric

Founded on unique CodeHealth™ Metric 

CodeScene's foundation is our unique Code Health Metric based on research and the only code-level metric in industry that demonstrates a business value in improving code quality. Our research shows that unhealthy code is 10x more unpredictable in delivery estimates and has 15x more defects compared to healthy code. This significantly impacts delivery deadlines and leads to unplanned work for development teams, causing distractions and inefficiencies due to frequent context switches.

By focusing on technical debt that's critical and managing it, you'll be able to reverse this cycle.

Find technical debt affecting your product

Run File-Level Hotspot analysis

Our Code Code Health scale goes from 1 to 10. Ten indicates very maintainable code. CodeScene identifies risky areas in your codebase that are prone to bugs and delays. How is the external quality of your product affected? Ready to run your first code health check?

Technical debt is not in the code

Why static analysis isn't enough 

Technical debt lives in the time your dev team spends reworking complex code. Unlike static analysis tools, CodeScene factors in the human aspect, identifying costly, time-consuming code. By focusing on development hotspots, CodeScene prioritizes the critical technical debt that matters most.

Code Health Trends in CodeScene

High-level dashboards with Code Health KPIs

Continous monitoring and trends 

CodeScene tracks technical debt and key initiatives, alerting teams when new debt builds up, critical areas are neglected, or refactoring goals aren’t met. Engineering managers get timely notifications, ensuring immediate action, while data-driven insights help teams monitor trends and measure refactoring impact over time.

Code Health metric part of your OKRs

Main KPIs for your Code Health

A single KPI can’t capture code health in large codebases. CodeScene uses three targeted metrics to provide a complete code health profile, balancing hotspots, hidden low-scoring files, and stable but risky legacy code. This approach avoids overlooked risks from relying on averages or isolated measures.

Hotspot Code Health

A weighted average of the Code Health in your hotspots. Generally, this is the most critical metric since low Code Health in a hotspot will be expensive.

Average Code Health

A weighted average of all the files in the codebase. This KPI indicates how deep any potential Code Health issues go.

Worst performer

A single file Code Health score representing the lowest Code Health in any module across the codebase, and it points out long-term risks.

“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."
