CodeExcellence

Abstract

CodeExcellence Inc. is an innovative company specialized in the domain of software quality control. Their technology help organizations transform the way they develop and control code quality across distributed applications running in cloud, virtual, and physical environments. With the increasing size and complexity of software systems, more and more adaptive ways have been proposed to accommodate the high demands not only for correctness, but also performance, security, reliability and other quality criteria.

With a more and more distributed and highly requested workforce, the capability to provide guidance to developers to optimize their code and develop software consistent with corporate guidelines and best practices becomes of key importance to achieve competitive advantage. With the shortage of personal, investing into developers’ skills by enabling them to identify and fix their own coding flaws is considered valuable. The more this process can be facilitated and partially automated, the higher its return of investment. Expected cost savings are based on (i) improved time to market, while improving customer satisfaction, (ii) fixing critical defects in code while it is still in development, when it is most cost and time effective to fix them, (iii) ensures good development practices that result in components and frameworks that can be reused, thereby reducing rework and improving delivery times, and (iv) drives application maintenance costs down through automated and continuous structural quality improvement.
