Some time ago, I organized a talk on “Code Quality and why developers should care about” for my company. In that presentation, I demonstrate some tools, unfamiliar for the audience : young developers and battle-hardened IT developers. One among these tools has brought to me a lot of questions : Codacy. I will present its features and perform a comparison between Codacy and SonarQube from SonarSource.
How the choice of a Application Quality Measurement solution is influencing the software team work ?
Disclaimer : this article is not endorsed by Codacy. It reflects my personal opinion and experience.
According to a study ordered by Codacy, Codacy’s product may improve the code quality perception up to 20% and optimize the code review process up to 30%. We can assume that it reflects the disruption brought by the new code quality solutions in contrast with the traditional ones. The power of the code analysis also seems to be a minor criteria in the choice of a solution. Interviewed users are justifying the ROI of such solution in its ability to ease and optimize the software development process.
