Align CodeScene to your goals
Profiles align CodeScene with your goals, adapting PR gates to broader objectives like "remediate technical debt" or "maintain code quality." They evolve, starting simple and adding checks as you grow.
Address negative trends - does your team need more adoption?
No matter the baseline, we never want our code to become harder to maintain. See the total checks performed, how many findings are fixed, and how many are ignored. Address negative trends and visualize the impact of pull requests over time.
Match your context and ambitions
Align CodeScene with your team’s context and goals, ensuring that PR gates reflect broader objectives.
The Bare Minimum
The recommended starting point, this profile enforces critical Code Health rules like Low Cohesion, Deep Nested Logic, and Brain/God Functions, ensuring new code avoids technical debt and prevents Code Health decline in Hotspots.
Pay down technical debt
This profile enables all checks, including the “Elevate Code Health” category to enforce your specified goals, like “Supervise” or “Refactoring.” It's ideal for optimizing development productivity and investing in technical debt remediation.
Clean Code Collective
Using this profile, you get the most out of CodeScene as our checks will fail for any file where the code health declines.
Customizable safeguards
Choose this option to select checks from multiple categories, such as combining "Minimal Safety Net" with targeted improvements from "Elevate Code Health." Ideal for large PRs with 30+ files.
VidMob was able to reduce more than 50% of unplanned work by enabling PR integration
“Everyone with big legacy codebases has developers telling them that “we need to rewrite all of these things”. But you can’t focus on everything at once. How do you make the right decisions around where to invest your resources? CodeScene helps prioritize development and refactoring efforts to areas that will have the biggest impact and return on investment.”
