Even for technical people, such as architects and senior developers, large parts of a system are like a black box. This is especially true of unhealthy code which is harder and more time-consuming to read and understand. CodeScene's next generation analytics shine a light – or a laser – into the darkness. In minutes, CodeScene can analyze massive projects with millions of lines of code. It then identifies the most problematic files in terms of both code health and developer activity. These files are actively consuming development time and slowing the addition of new features. CodeScene can even identify individual functions and methods that are consuming your team's bandwidth.
Fixing technical debt starts at the precise locations where remediation efforts will bring the most benefit. By localizing areas of high developer activity (we call these "hotspots"), CodeScene brings extreme precision to what is otherwise a process dominated by guesswork, intuition and rules of thumb.

High developer turnover can be just as detrimental to a project's success as low quality code.
New developers working on unfamiliar code will take longer to complete tasks and are more prone to introducing new bugs.
Because they are not familiar yet with the project’s underlying model, it will be more difficult for them, during their onboarding, to find solutions that reduce the cost of change in the future.
This reality of software development means that the social aspects can have just as much impact as low code health.

Just as for code quality issues, CodeScene has you covered here.
CodeScene's knowledge metrics allow you to anticipate problems related to key personnel dependencies and reduce knowledge risk.
The offboarding simulator can help prepare for when developers move on to other companies.
CodeScene can also identify areas in a codebase where knowledge is sparse; they are also sources of risk that, once identified, should be mitigated.

Team structure and code architecture can also create inefficiencies.
As companies grow, so do their teams. The architecture that worked with three teams may not be a good fit now that there are eight teams.
Mismatches between code and teams can be a new source of friction that increases costs and slows development.
CodeScene's team analytics are a way to make better decisions about organizing your developers and your code.

Overcoming technical debt is a multifaceted challenge that involves many different actors in a company. CodeScene is designed to help on each of these levels, and to provide a way for the different stakeholders to communicate and address the challenge effectively.
We simply cannot fix all Red and Yellow code at once. Instead, we need to prioritise by impact. CodeScene’s hotspots are a powerful tool for identifying the most expensive code quality issues.

"We have automated our code quality reviews with CodeScene and have had impactful results from the beginning of usage."
"CodeScene gave me a view of the code base in a way that no other tool - or person - could. It helped me understand where our quality issues really came from, and to redirect my team to focus on remediating those areas."
