PAY DOWN TECHNICAL DEBT

Technical Debt - identify, measure and reduce

As your organization and your software grow, technical debt is also growing in the background. Unmanaged, it becomes a burden for your teams, your budget and your future.



It doesn't have to be this way.

The real cost of technical debt

Every day, the software industry learns the hard way about the cost of technical debt. Now, research shows how to quantify that cost. 

 

Compared to healthy code, problematic code produces significantly more bugs over time. It also increases costs by slowing development, sometimes by a factor of 2X or more. 

It adds up quickly in terms of developer time, customers who experience bugs, and the opportunity cost of the features that are never built.

Two key problems
01.
Fixing unhealthy code can be overhelming
Fixing unhealthy code can be overwhelming. Codebases, whether they are "legacy" or not, can be huge. Developer time is limited and expensive.
02.
Lack of visibility
Stakeholders are more interested in new features and they often lack visibility into the root causes behind expanding development times and budgets.
CodeScene provides the analytical insights to accomplish this in the most efficient way possible. Investigate, identify, measure your technical debt. CodeScene helps you narrow down refactoring targets based on the highest return on invested effort. Maintain long-term code quality with the help of CodeScene’s automated code reviews and quality gates.

Prioritizing technical debt

Even for very technical people, like 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.

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.

See how CodeScene prioritizes technical debt.

The reason why hotspots work so well to prioritize technical debt and code health issues is easy to understand in CodeScene's Hotspot Analysis. The Hotspots Analysis identifies code with high development activity. Any technical debt in this part is likely to have high interest and big impact.
