Clean Code in the Age of Generative AI

Generative AI is trained using human code, at higher volumes and faster speeds, and its output includes all the same issues as human-created code. To maximize the advantages of generative AI in coding, developer teams need robust DevOps processes, reporting, and metrics that focus on code quality, security, and reliability.

modern DevOps transformation begins with static code analysis

The landscape of software development is continually evolving, and at the forefront of this evolution is DevOps – a methodology that combines software development (Dev) with IT operations (Ops) to shorten the development lifecycle and provide continuous delivery with high software quality. However, challenges arise from inefficient processes to inadequacies in maintaining the balance between speed, quality, and security. The crux of solving these problems may lie in innovative tools and practices, notably Sonar static code analysis solutions.

Technical Debt Developer's Guide

Technical debt refers to the future costs of rework or maintenance that arise from prioritizing speed and short cuts over code quality in software development, with the debt accumulating over time and requiring resources to be paid off, making it crucial to address and minimize from the start of a project. Technical debt and its many facets can have a significant impact on software development lifecycles.
