Technical debt management for large and complex codebases
Prioritize refactoring that matters. Show the $ impact to the business.
Go beyond static analysis: combine code health and history of developer activity to identify critical tech debt. Quantify improvements in engineering hours to know exactly which files to fix first.
Your legacy codebase is about to break and the business asks "can we ship faster?"
You can’t fix all the bad code at once
The easy part is to say your code is bad. Deciding what to fix and where to start is the hard part.
You can’t convince non-tech leaders to tackle technical debt
Some people just don't get why fixing code quality is essential. But without their buy-in, refactoring projects don't happen.
Static code analysis is not enough to prioritize
Without historical context, these tools can only help you see bad code. Not find high-impact areas to fix first.
Working with high-tech debt codebases is a nightmare
You’re stuck with legacy systems and mounting technical debt, slowing your releases and making maintenance a constant struggle.
When project is already over budget living with tech debt is a reality
On projects underestimated by 10x, balancing delivery speed and accuracy, while managing technical debt and delay penalties is impossible.
Prioritize, quantify, and fix technical debt through behavioral code analytics with CodeScene
Refactoring targets
Focus refactoring efforts on codebase areas that matter most
Pinpoint the most complex and frequently changed areas of your codebase and prioritize refactoring efforts effectively. Reduce technical debt and enhance overall code quality where it matters.
Code Health Metrics and Visual Reports
Show the value of code quality improvements so that business gets it
Quantify technical debt in monetary terms and use visual reports to show the impact of code quality improvements to non-technical stakeholders. Justify investments in maintainability and strategic refactoring initiatives.

“With CodeScene we are able to see where we will benefit the most from reducing technical debt”
"Everyone with big legacy codebases hears the same thing:
"We need to rewrite all of this."
But you can’t focus on everything at once. So how do you make the right decisions about where to invest your resources?
CodeScene helps you prioritize development and refactoring efforts by focusing on the areas that deliver the biggest impact and the highest return on investment."
“Explaining technical debt is very frustrating, and not having metrics or data to refer to is even worse."
" No tools on the market could help us tackle technical debt in a data driven way - until we came across CodeScene.
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.
Codescene integrates with your repositories, issue trackers, CI/CD pipelines, IDEs, CLI, and works with over 25 languages. Cloud, on-prem, or private cloud. Available in AWS marketplace.
We know a thing or two about technical debt management
Code Health
We publish research on code quality
We developed Code Health as an aggregated metric that takes 25+ contextual factors of code quality into consideration. And, it's the only code-level metric with proven business impact.
Loved by developers. Trusted by Enterprises.
“CodeScene prioritises the biggest bottlenecks in our projects”
"It finds code improvements that give the biggest improvement in the development and maintenance of our codebase."
