BlueOptima Code Insights is a software analytics module focused on analyzing source code to assess structural quality, maintainability, and technical risk. It evaluates how code is constructed and evolved over time, independent of programming language or development methodology. The module provides a factual view of code health by identifying complexity, dependencies, and patterns that affect long-term sustainability and delivery risk.

Key Features

Structural Code Analysis

Examines the internal structure of software systems.

• Analysis of complexity and dependencies
