FAQPage Schema
How do I assess technical debt and project health for a legacy codebase?▼

To assess technical debt and project health, run a project discovery evaluation that identifies dependency issues, security vulnerabilities, and architectural risks. This provides a comprehensive report on codebase health before adding new features.

Can I perform a dependency audit and risk analysis without installing new packages?▼

Yes, a dependency audit and risk analysis can be performed using built-in tools like npm audit and npm outdated. These evaluate existing dependency states to pinpoint outdated packages and security vulnerabilities without requiring new installations.

What is the best way to find security vulnerabilities and code complexity hotspots?▼

The best way to find security vulnerabilities and code complexity hotspots is through static code analysis combined with dependency evaluation. This approach identifies architectural issues and technical debt to help you plan work effectively.

Does project discovery support architecture review for existing software projects?▼

Yes, project discovery supports architecture review for existing software projects. It evaluates the current state of the codebase through static code analysis to identify structural issues and technical debt before you start modifications.

When should I run a code assessment to evaluate test coverage and dependencies?▼

You should run a code assessment to evaluate test coverage and dependencies before starting a new feature on a legacy project. This identifies potential problems early, allowing you to plan work effectively and avoid unexpected issues.
