Use case

Focus on Refactoring Targets 

Use CodeScene's File-Level Hotspots Map with Code Health view to get a quick assessment of potential technical debt or maintenance problems. Remediating technical debt or code quality issues in the red refactoring targets quickly produces a real return on your refactoring investment.

Reduce technical debt based on impact

hotspots-refactoring-targets_codescene

Focus on your Refactoring Targets 

To prioritize hotspots, CodeScene employs algorithms that look at deeper change patterns in the analysis data. CodeScene starts by identifying files with high change frequency and low Code Health.

Focus on Red Refactoring Targets 

CodeScene prioritizes the Hotspots in your code. Remediating technical debt or code quality issues in the red refactoring targets is likely to quickly produce a real return on your refactoring investment.

A more proactive way of working

Do we pay-off the worst technical debt or continue to shoehorn another feature into the hotspot?

There’s a strong correlation between Hotspots and software defects. 

Code Health-1
Bug

Let CodeScene prioritize

Viewing the full code health perspective highlights the importance of priorities. Even if a module has a lower health, it does not mean that it requires attention or immediate action. 

Dev time

Find what's most relevant

Our machine learning algorithms will sort out the relevant code health issues from the ones with less priority. Filter out and inspect the code health of the most active parts of the code. 

Trending-down

Use defects to put costs on hotspots 

CodeScene comes with a Defect Density view. Since most organizations have a known and estimated number on how much a defect costs, let’s use defects to predict the costs of any sub-optimal code we might find in our hotspots. 

Complicated code that changes often is more of a problem if

Number one teal
The hotspot has to be changed together with several other modules
Number two teal
The hotspot affects many different developers on different teams
Number three teal
The hotspot is likely to be a coordination bottleneck for multiple developers
