What do you like best about CodeScene?

Getting CodeScene set up and connected to our repos was very easy.

As a non-developer working in a software development company, one of my jobs is to protect developers' time when possible. CodeScene lets me interrogate code and discover entry points for the developers to perform more in-depth code reviews.

I also like that I can show progress even our least technical stakeholders can understand with the streamlined visuals codescene creates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodeScene?

It would be nice to see attribution for hotspots to allow project managers or lead developers to gently redirect the users who are introducing the areas of concern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CodeScene solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reporting on software development progress is easy in some ways (e.g. we can demo a new feature, and a client can see it) but it's difficult to show in other ways - reducing complexity, abstracting reusable components into their own files, even spending time monitoring and checking to ensure code quality. For those areas where it's difficult to demonstrate value, we have historically had difficulty convincing clients that the work does need to happen, does produce value, etc. CodeScene helps us demonstrate that value by providing over-time visualizations of key code health indicators that we can show to clients and stakeholders. It also lets us save developer time in code reviews by surfacing concerns that need to be addressed and allowing our devs to focus their manual review on more esoteric considerations.

What do you like best about CodeScene?

Seriously, this is a game-changer. CodeScene's hotspots help us zero in on those tricky parts of our codebase that might be causing headaches. It's like having a guide showing you where the potholes are on a road so you can dodge them.Beyond the hotspots, the tool offers some pretty nifty metrics about code health and team dynamics. It's not just about the code; it's also about how we work together as a team.

The visual breakdowns make it easier to grasp the state of our code, especially when trying to explain things to non-tech folks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodeScene?

Okay, it's not the most straightforward tool right out of the gate. There's a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it's smooth sailing.

Sometimes, there's just too much information thrown at you. It's great to have all these insights, but filtering out the noise can be a challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CodeScene solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're working with a project that's been around for a solid 15 years. Back in its early days, tight deadlines led to a few shortcuts in the code. Thanks to CodeScene, we can now sift through that technical debt, pinpointing exactly where to channel our efforts for the most impactful improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CodeScene?

Our teams really like the knoledge base feature that has helped us identify the areas where we were missing knowledge after a teams reorganization that changed the people in every team one year ago. The tool helped us identifing the high risk areas and we got the change to improve our knowledge base in the new teams.

Another very useful feature is the code health since we are working on some monoltihs and this feature helped us identify the repositories with the worst helath of code so that we could fix them right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodeScene?

The integration with YouTrack is a new feature and it still needs some improvement to personalize the configuration in order to correctly defying what is unplanned work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Applying same expectation to test files and test set up with regards to how long the tests are or duplicate code which is sometimes inevitable. However, I understand you can define rules around this to have better control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
