Enabled my team to be faster

I really like the Delivery Performance functionalities that allows me to rapidly visualize and act on the most important lead time metrics such as Lead Time for Changes or Planned vs Unplanned work. This insight and the possibility to quickly identify areas in our code with highest technical debt and complexity, areas that leads to quality issues, is a killer feature

CodeScene Provides Actionable Insights
5
CodeScene as a company has been highly responsive to my input over the whole course of my engagement with them. My suggestions based on real-world usage contributed to improvement in the products. Throughout my entire engagement, the CodeScene team has stayed highly engaged to make sure I was getting the most out of the product. Opening the tool for the first time was a truly exciting experience, and the more I learned, the more excited and empowered I got.

Reasons for switching to CodeScene
SonarQube's insights are significantly lower level and not as impactful on code organization. Yes, it might help detect subtle bugs, but as it relates to code quality (in the sense of code smells) and providing insights that help drive real business decisions about staffing, knowledge management, and refactoring, it comes very far short.

Making the invisible visible
5
Just recently I had the privilege of doing a formal analysis of the code base of the client using CodeScene. I spent two days analysing the code base of around 35 active developers. The company wanted to see if some of the difficulties they had could be better understood by looking at the code and more importantly by looking at the interaction patterns with the code. My peers were thrilled at the level of understanding they could acquire in such a short timespan! Not only does it give hope in showing that it's only a small fraction of the technical debt that actually counts, including which part! But it also gives valuable insights into concerns around the code, like team organisation, developer turnover and even product management difficulties. I've been using CodeScene for more than a year now. I'm a technical coach and as I get to see a lot of different teams. CodeScene really improves my understanding each team's situation and thus I can be of better use to them. Tools are only tools numbers are only numbers but when a tool is making the invisible visible then it is really, really useful for making more informed decisions!

Reasons for choosing CodeScene
I still use Sonar from time to time. The two tools are complementary. For instance there's no code coverage in CodeScene. If I use CodeScene a lot more than Sonar it's because it points more directly to actual problems. Besides it requires no compilation, no test run, and it has great support for a lot of languages. I even got great information from running it on an unsupported language (VB5) because it still understands the git history.

New insights into your code and organization
5
Above all else, I appreciated that CodeScene would provide data to check my instincts about where and when to apply more effort to improve a design. As a developer, CodeScene’s hot spot feature helped me feel more confident (or helped me find another candidate) when I identified an area to improve. As a team manager, the metrics and graphs in CodeScene gave our team a way to monitor progress as we worked on a several week effort to make small, incremental improvements to a tricky area of code.

The right way to manage technical debt.
5
CodeScene prioritises the biggest bottlenecks in our projects. It finds the code improvements that give the biggest improvement in the development and maintenance of our codebases. We use CodeScene to XRAY our codebases quickly and improve the structure of our code and sometimes even the structure of our teams. We use it as a guide for work conversations and code / project reviews and to assess (external) codebases. The super easy setup, leading to detailed insights, led to explosive growth of the service within our company. We didn't have to put a lot of effort into the adoption; CodeScene sells itself.

Thanks a lot for your review, Patrick! Highly appreciated! I particularly like your observations around the CI/CD integration. This is a prioritised area for CodeScene that we will continue to evolve. We believe in pushing relevant information to existing developer workflows. That way, the information is available when it's needed the most which in turn makes it actionable. Once again: thanks!! /Adam Tornhill, CTO & Founder

BITS OF KNOWLEDGE LIKE NEVER SEEN
5
I have utilized CodeScene both for item advancement (on-going investigation) and oddball examinations for projects we have been on, and the outcomes consistently disclose to us something. In one case it assisted us with anticipating what part of our venture planned to defer the item discharge!! With CodeScene it took us a couple of moments to perceive how clear it was, however it was not clear to the designers and the Project Manager without CodeScene. Not at all like numerous other static examination devices, CodeScene doesn't need a protracted arrangement or reconciliation measure - you simply point it at your Git archive and it gives quick bits of knowledge. Their help group is additionally great at answering, and the author, is an uncommon individual. I'm colossally enamored with the instrument, and the organization and their estimating model behind it urge me to utilize it considerably more. I would suggest that everybody chipping away at a huge undertaking (>10 engineers) run their code through CodeScene

Thanks a lot for your feedback! We're very happy to hear that. I particularly like how you involved other stakeholders (e.g. Project Manager) together with the development team. That's the core of CodeScene: to make sure everyone involved with a software project has the same understanding of the codebase and where the delivery risks are. Thank you!! /Adam, CTO & Founder

Helping to understanding technical debt
4
The highest risks in the code base lead directly to quality problems in production. Finding these is made considerably easier with CS. In addition, refactoring away from a monolithic design is eased considerably with this this tool. We use the tool in both weekly analysis mode and as part of the CI pull requests to identify risky commits.

Reasons for choosing CodeScene
Codescene is able to analyse risky code and technical debt over time. It also visualises the code in a way that makes it easy for many different stakeholders (from Deva and QA to Management) to understand and monitor.

Insights like never seen before
5
I have used CodeScene both for product development (on-going analysis) and one off analyses for projects we have been on, and the results always tell us something. In one case it helped us predict which component of our project was going to delay the product release!! With CodeScene it took us a few seconds to see how obvious it was, but it was not obvious to the developers and the Project Manager without CodeScene. Unlike many other static analysis tools, CodeScene does not require a lengthy setup or integration process - you just point it at your Git repository and it provides immediate insights. Their support team is also really good at replying, and the founder, is an exceptional person. I am hugely fond of the tool, and the company and their pricing model behind it encourage me to use it even more. I would recommend that everyone working on a large project (>10 developers) run their code through CodeScene.
