FAQPage Schema
How do I assess technical debt and project health before adding new features?▼

To assess technical debt and project health, run a full codebase evaluation covering architecture, dependencies, test coverage, and security. This generates a health score and actionable recommendations to address risks before new development.

What is a dependency audit and how does it identify security vulnerabilities?▼

A dependency audit uses tools like npm audit to analyze project packages, identifying outdated versions and known security vulnerabilities. This pinpoints risks in your dependency tree and highlights packages requiring immediate updates.

How do I perform an architecture review on an existing codebase?▼

Perform an architecture review by evaluating the codebase structure, complexity hotspots, and test coverage. This assessment examines multiple dimensions to provide a comprehensive overview of code health and architectural risks.

Can I use this project assessment tool for legacy codebases?▼

Yes, you can use this project assessment tool for legacy codebases to get a quick overview of their health, understand their architecture, and identify any immediate risks that need addressing before new feature development.

What's the best way to check code health and identify complexity hotspots?▼

The best way to check code health is to run a comprehensive project discovery assessment that evaluates architecture, dependencies, and security. This pinpoints complexity hotspots and outdated packages, providing a health score with actionable recommendations.
