Benchmarking Code Quality Excellence: Gain the Competitive Edge

Tuesday, 7:15 PM EST - OPAL SAND

Code quality fails to gain traction at the business level, leading software companies to prioritize new features over maintaining a healthy codebase. This trade-off results in technical debt that consumes up to 40% of developers' time, causing stress, frustration, and costly delays in product delivery. Despite its importance, it's hard to build a business case for code quality: how do we quantify and communicate the benefits to non-technical stakeholders? Or even inside our own engineering team?

In this mini-keynote, Adam presents groundbreaking industry benchmarks and innovative metrics that, for the first time, enable organizations to compare their performance with top industry players. By leveraging statistical models, he demonstrates how you can predict the business gains of technical improvements in terms of increased development velocity and bug reduction. With these actionable recommendations, your organization can ship software faster and gain a competitive edge.
