CODE ASSURANCE
Is your codebase a liability or an asset?
Code quality and technical debt directly impact your cost, uptime, and time to market. Kickdrum Code Assurance is a manual and automated evaluation of maintainability, onboarding, key personnel, security, and open source risks.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Who are the key people, what is the risky code, and where are the productivity gaps that are driving up costs and affecting growth? Kickdrum Code Assurance helps you identify, understand, quantify, and continue to stay attuned to the risk associated with your codebases and developers.
HOW IT WORKS
Whether you’ve got a single product that is managed with version control or need multiple products inspected that all suffer from a lack of best practices, Kickdrum can usually get started with secure, read-only access to your source code and a 1-2 hour product and source code orientation. In most cases, full reports and remediation recommendations are delivered within 10 to 14 business days.
