Technical Debt is a Business Problem. Make the Invisible Visible.

Technical debt is a metaphor where – just like in finance– debt incurs interest payments. This means that technical debt makes code more expensive to maintain and to add new features to than it has to be. This has a direct impact on business.

Code Health Insights

Manage Technical Debt with Hotspots
Identify and prioritize technical debt and code quality issues. Prioritize based on how the development organization works with the code for maximum impact.
Code Health Score and Historic Trend
Code health is an aggregated metric based on 25+ factors scanned from the source code. Healthy code correlates with higher developer productivity and a lower risk for bugs. Understanding the code quality of a codebase and seeing progress through historic trends has never been this easy.
Active Risk Alerts
Code Health related alerts such as files degrading in code health and predictions about future degradations are highlighted to help you mitigate risk.
Improvement Highlights
See a list of recent improvements and who performed them.
Virtual Code Review
Gives a detailed breakdown of the Code Health issues and recommendations on how to fix them. The virtual code reviewer combines the social and technical analysis data you need to assess a specific hotspot.
Custom Code Health Rules
An optional feature that lets you adapt CodeScene's rules to your internal coding standards.
Pull Request Integration
Performs a fully automated review of all PRs to support the development team. Includes quality gates for code health issues, the goals you specify, as well as a full review of new code.

Knowledge Distribution Insights

Visualize knowledge distribution
Get full organizational insights that go well beyond anything you can see in the source code.
Detect key personnel risks, measure the knowledge distribution in the codebase, and detect architectural bottlenecks where multiple developers have to coordinate their work.
Knowledge distribution status and trends
Current Knowledge Distribution status (Healthy, Attention or Risky state) and historic trend graphs showing data for last week, month or year help you see the current state and any progress you've made.
Active knowledge alerts
Knowledge related alerts such as knowledge islands in complex hotspots and missing configurations are highlighted to help you mitigate risk.
Off-boarding simulator
Mitigate offboarding risks by simulating the impact of a developer leaving a project. This simulator highlights offboarding risks and guides on-boarding efforts.
-

Team-Code Alignment Insights

Team-Code alignment explorer
Explore how well aligned the development teams are with the software architecture. An efficient team structure minimizes dependencies between teams while maintaining high team cohesion.
-
Status and trend
See your current Team-Code Alignment status and track progress with historic trends. The Team-Code Alignment score is based on measures of Team Coupling and Team Cohesion. The stronger the team cohesion and the more loosely coupled teams, the less coordination overhead and fewer merge conflicts.
-
Active Risk Alerts
Get risk alerts and suggestions on how to improve your Team-Code Alignment.
-

Delivery Performance Insights

Delivery status and trend
The Delivery Performance module puts CodeScene's technical and organizational metrics into a business context. Combines delivery data -- extracted from your Project Management tool -- with the evolutionary data from Git. Visualize cycle times for features, lead time for bug fixes, and batch sizes.
-
Delivery statistics
See release frequency, batch size, branch duration, release overdue statistics, average development and deployment time. You can even see delivery statistics per team.
-
Planned/unplanned work analysis
See how much time is spent on planned vs unplanned work. Everything related to features or planned re-work is categorized as Planned, where bugs and service interruptions are Unplanned Work.
-

General Features

Private repositories
Ability to analyze private repositories as well as public.
PDF reports
Export the analysis results via a set of take-away PDF reports: Trends and Alerts, Technical Health Overview, Key Personnel and Knowledge Distribution.
Or get full situational awareness of multiple codebases via the Management Overview report.
 
Support
All paid plans come with our 5-star email support with answer within a business day.
Rest API
The REST API allows you to programmatically create and configure projects, create custom reports or display your CodeScene results in any toolset.
-
PM tools Integrations (Jira, Trello, Azure DevOps, and GitHub Issues)
CodeScene's cost analyses let you 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 amount of work is unplanned? And what happens over time?
-

Software portfolio

A high level graphical overview of all your projects. It allows you to see how projects are positioned across the 4 factors (Code Health, Knowledge Distribution, Team-Code Alignment, Delivery), so that you can identify outliers and easily spot projects that need improvement.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to pay to use CodeScene?

CodeScene is free for open-source projects. We also have a set of paid plans so that you can tailor CodeScene to your needs or analyze private repositories. This allows larger organizations to benefit from advanced analyses like CodeScene's cost metrics and delivery performance measures. We have a free trial so you can evaluate CodeScene before starting a plan.

How is the total cost calculated?

CodeScene’s license is based on the number of active authors. An active author is anyone who has committed code over the past three months to the codebases you want to analyse. This time period is a sliding window that always starts at the date of the most recent commit in your repositories. Each author is only counted once. That is, if you analyse multiple codebases, the same persons only count once no matter how many projects they contribute to. Historic authors are free. People who haven’t committed code within the last three months are included for free and don’t add to the license fee.

What is the main difference between On Prem and Cloud?

In all major aspects they are the same product but it makes it possible for you to integrate and use CodeScene no matter if your current tooling and handling of your source code is cloud based or running on private servers.

Is is possible to change or cancel my plan anytime?

Cancellations can be done according to our terms which is 30 days before the end of the yearly subscription period. Monthly subscriptions can be cancelled at any time and will take effect the day after the last day of the current subscription period.

What is included in the Free Trial?

During the Free Trial period, you get access to all the features in the plan of your choice. When you start your trial you choose if you want to try the Standard or the Pro plan.

What payment methods are accepted?

We accept all major credit cards and invoicing.

Is there a limited number of active authors per plan?

There’s no limit on the number of active authors. The total cost of using CodeScene is based on how many active authors you have. The number of users that can login and use any of the CodeScene features, such as the automatic pull request reviews, are unlimited.

How do I buy CodeScene? How do I upgrade in the future?

It’s easy. You purchase CodeScene at our website, see pricing. Choose between our On-Prem or cloud solution, add the amount of active authors you have, press purchase and follow payment instructions. Three clicks later you are done.

Do you want to scale up with more active authors?

For On-Prem just go to your personal site in our customer portal and upgrade the subscription. If you are running our Cloud version, just login to your CodeScene cloud, find your price plan, change to the new subscription. Scale up or down. Your choice.
