teams own their delivery quality
Clean as You Code™ sets a clear expectation that allows developers to take full ownership of their code and make sure their deliveries meet high-quality standards.
Our Unique Approach
a systematic approach to clean code
Handling the quality of your entire codebase is disruptive and overwhelming. Clean as You Code takes an incremental approach by keeping the code you add or edit clean.
Clean as You Code
a simple, powerful approach
The only expectation of developers is to ensure that the New Code - added or changed - does not introduce new issues. In other words, they do a good job on the code they touch. The approach is simple, effective, and easily adopted by all.
no extra effort, or rework
In the course of touching old code to make new edits, quality gradually gets built into your application. Your codebase is slowly remediated and overall application quality progressively improves. It’s an effortless way to yield the best results.
2-step implementation
It takes 2 simple steps to implement Clean as You Code.
Quality Gate on New Code
A Quality Gate focused only on metrics for New Code – added or changed – prevents new issues from creeping in. Sonar sets this by default and aligns developers across the organization to deliver to that standard.
don’t release unless it’s green
The only rule that needs to be applied is the common organizational understanding that no project will be released to production if it's failing its Quality Gate.
Industry standard
Companies change on average 20% of their code each year
20%
of the overall code is clean after 1 year
35%
of the overall code is clean after 2 years
50%
of the overall code is clean after 5 years
Focus is on New Code
your new code is clean, always
No matter the type of your application, its current state, or your team expertise, Clean as You Code establishes a standard expectation across the organization for all New Code—added or changed.
overall quality improves
gradually remediate old code
As complexity grows and software continues to evolve, developers inevitably touch existing code to make new changes. As every line of updated code goes through a quality gate, old code gets progressively remediated in the process.
A powerful approach
maximum impact, without the pain
Dealing with low-quality code is frustrating for developers, but businesses don't want to invest in fixing legacy debt. Fortunately, you can avoid both. Clean as You Code is the only approach that guarantees results without extra effort.
