Enabling you to manage behaviours for the desired outcomes

The Development Challenge

How do you know when your code is good enough?

How do you build quality in?

Are you continually improving?

Bottlenecks in efficiency and productivity are difficult to identify

 

What we do

We create the connections and artefacts that support your software delivery process

    • Issue Quality Certificates at quality intervention points of your software delivery pipeline. A Quality Certificate is an assessment of meeting user defined quality criteria
    • Gather the appropriate information for all Quality Certificates
    • Analyse data from multiple sources e.g. checklists, logs etc.
    • Convert data to relevant information within context by using the 7 Axes of Code Quality
    • Enable and facilitate change across people, process and scripts
    • Provide shorter feedback loops
    • Provide contextual code quality guidelines to enable building quality into your software product (shift left)
    • Find out
      • What code makes up technical debt
      • Where this debt occurs
      • How to fix it
