How to write off your Technical Debt with Scertify™ and Computer-Aided Refactoring

Most of the time, spending time to reduce the unintended technical debt of a project is a wishful thinking that will rarely come true. Teams prefer to focus efforts on functional & intended debts rather than correcting a bunch of code violations, even if they’re major or critical. However, like any other debt this unintended debt (basically, FindBugs, Checkstyle or PMD violations) generates interests: that is to say an additional cost to maintain the application or add new functionnalities.

Watch this video tutorial and learn how to simply write off your Technical Debt with Scertify, by using its Computer-Aided refactoring features.

In this video, we analyzed and refactored a component of Hibernate, following three steps:

Code analysis & Technical Debt assessment with Scertify™ and Sonar
Automatic refactoring of 572 code violations (estimated to 1 day, 2 hours and 32 minutes of manual remediation)
Finally, a second code analysis to check if violations have been properly corrected and to measure how much the technical debt has been reduced

Enjoy!
