Are you working on a codebase where cost overruns, death marches, and heroic fights with legacy code monsters are the norm?
Battle these adversaries with novel ways to identify and prioritize technical debt, based on behavioral data from how developers work with code.
And that's just for starters. Because good code involves social design, as well as technical design, you can find surprising dependencies between people and code to resolve coordination bottlenecks among teams.
Best of all, the techniques build on behavioral data that you already have: your version-control system.
Join the fight for better code!
Use statistics and data science to uncover both problematic code and the behavioral patterns of the developers who build your software.
This combination gives you insights you can't get from the code alone.
Use these insights to prioritize refactoring needs, measure their effect, find implicit dependencies between different modules, and automatically create knowledge maps of your system based on actual code contributions.
Discover a comprehensive set of practical analysis techniques based on version-control data, where each point is illustrated with a case study from a real-world codebase.
Because the techniques are language neutral, you can apply them to your own code no matter what programming language you use.
