We’re proud to announce a new release of CodeScene, version 3.4!
CodeScene 3.4 introduces a direct Jira integration together with a new cost model for calculating time in development down to a file level. This feature enables you to see how much time you spend in hotspots and/or modules with lower code health, as well as measuring the effect of improvements.
The Delivery Performance module has been expanded with a new analysis of Planned vs Unplanned work. CodeScene 3.4. also adds support for automatically connecting the analyses to GitHub/BitBucket/GitLab/Azure webhooks for an automated code review of each pull request. The pull request review and CI/CD quality gates have also been expanded to provide detailed info on any code health degradations in order to make the analysis feedback easily actionable.
New Features
-
Direct Jira integration: Connect to Jira directly from a CodeScene analysis instead of using a separate plugin; much simpler.
-
Automated cost calculations for Hotspots: CodeScene introduces a new analysis that can deduce costs automatically based on your development history. Use this cost model to reason about the technical and organizational findings from a financial perspective. For example, how much time do you spend on defects in your top hotspots? What happens over time? As before, CodeScene offers a breakdown of the development costs on three separate levels: file-, architecture-, and system-level.
CodeScene automatically deduces costs based on your development history.
- A new analysis of Planned vs Unplanned work: The Delivery Performance module provides an overview of development costs categorized as Planned and Unplanned work. The purpose of this analysis is to identify trends in the amount of Unplanned work, which indicates the unrealized potential that can be optimized in an organization’s delivery efficiency.
Get feedback on the type of development work; do we spend our time mainly on Planned or Unplanned work?
-
Connect CodeScene to GitHub/BitBucket/GitLab/Azure for Pull Request reviews: Each analysis project now has the option to automatically create webhooks that let you integrate CodeScene’s analysis info into pull requests.
-
Provide feedback on Code Health degradations: CodeScene’s virtual code reviewer – as well as the CI/CD and pull request reviews – now provide detailed feedback on why a piece of code degrades in health.
-
Separate time window for Hotspots calculations: This is an optional configuration that introduces a sliding window for hotspots while maintain the full trends.
Improvements
- The cost data has been merged into the hotspots map to offer a simple way to switch perspective, e.g. between hotspots and costs.
Switch between the technical and financial perspectives for your code.
- Improved change coupling visualizations.
- Make the complexity trend diff actionable by providing the history log.
- Export the cost data to CSV.
- Present the distribution of activity across projects.
- Correct title, function not file, in the X-Ray change distribution.
- Minor bug fixes and improvements.
