Open Source software is about sharing progress and making software better. CodeScene supports this movementby by helping to improve code and ensuring a high level of quality for the Open Source community. LEAD AND CONTRIBUTE WITH CONFIDENCE. #### Guide your contributors efficiently. Make progress faster, together. ![Icon-Actionable findings](https://f.hubspotusercontent40.net/hubfs/20955190/Icon-Actionable%20findings.svg) ##### Know where to focus your efforts Get relevant and actionable insights. CodeScene identifies technical debt and guides refactoring. ![Icon-Evaluate and prioritize](https://f.hubspotusercontent40.net/hubfs/20955190/Icon-Evaluate%20and%20prioritize.svg) ##### Save time in code reviews Automate code reviews with pull request integration. Only review submissions that have passed CodeScene’s quality gates. ![Icon-Holistic overview](https://f.hubspotusercontent40.net/hubfs/20955190/Icon-Holistic%20overview.svg) ##### Build healthy software Systems with low technical debt are easier to maintain. Get visibility into your code health and improve your code. “I use the community version of the CodeScene product to analyze the technical debt of the project and focus refactoring efforts where it is really needed. CodeScene gives a very precise vision of hotspots by correlating metrics obtained on the code and the activity of the teams on the project. The product is capable of underlining the sections of code presenting a risk. It also offers many other interesting features and metrics to effectively manage technical debt in projects.“ Jean-Pierre Lerbscher Core developer of the Open Source JavaParser project.

This integration helps development teams by serving as a quality gate and early feedback loop. ![Automate code reviews](https://f.hubspotusercontent40.net/hub/20955190/hubfs/Automate%20code%20reviews.png?width=553&quality=high) ##### Improve the Code Health of your Codebase CodeScene analyzes your existing code and helps you set code health improvement goals. Start with an initial analysis, get actionable and prioritizes insights and track progress toward your goals. ![Frame 1614](https://f.hubspotusercontent40.net/hub/20955190/hubfs/Frame%201614.png?width=553&quality=high) ##### Identify, Prioritize and Manage Technical Debt A codebase under active development is a moving target that’s going to change over time, which makes it difficult to manage technical debt. CodeScene lets you identify, prioritize and manage technical debt by giving you relevant and actionable information that you can turn into business value. ![Identify tech debt](https://f.hubspotusercontent40.net/hub/20955190/hubfs/Identify%20tech%20debt.png?width=553&quality=high) ![Arrow](https://staging.codescene.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/theme-codescene/images/arrow-right.svg) ![Arrow](https://staging.codescene.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/theme-codescene/images/arrow-right.svg) ### Have questions?
