CodeLogic Continuous Software Intelligence Platform GA
July 13, 2022
CodeLogic
launched the first and only developer
toolkit that scans post-compile binaries,
runtime app behavior, and database
connections to provide a complete and
up-to-the-second picture of
infrastructure-wide software connections and
dependencies. CodeLogic addresses the
unrelenting complexity that, according to
Stack Overflow, results in the #1 cause of
developer unhappiness: lack of productivity.
It frees developers from managing break/fix
cycles, training new team members, chasing
down vulnerabilities for security audits,
evaluating technical debt, and other
non-coding activities.
With CodeLogic Continuous Software
Intelligence, developers can stop breaking
software and code fearlessly.
Brian Pierce, CEO of CodeLogic, says,
"Enterprise-scale software systems are
unwieldy in complexity and often defy human
understanding. As a result, developers are
increasingly frustrated and unproductive.
According to Stack Overflow, this is the top
contributor to developer unhappiness. The
solution is to allow developers to see in
advance the impacts that code changes will
produce and to ameliorate those changes
without breaking code. The CodeLogic CSI
platform provides exactly that—total and
up-to-date visibility across the entire
software and database structure."
Every day, software developers make code
changes knowing there is a high probability
that the code changes they push and commit
will break something. Not just the build but
break the application further downstream.
This pervasive problem slows dev teams,
impairs productivity, and, ultimately, makes
innovation more difficult. Traditional
Software Intelligence (SI) and application
scanning tools rely on the static scanning
of source code and fail to address this
issue.
The CodeLogic CSI platform makes sense of
the complex and helps developers end
break/fix cycles. It exposes all software
connections and interdependencies—from code
to methods to APIs to databases—by
performing post-compile scans of binary code
and scanning runtime environments. With
CodeLogic, development teams have
unparalleled visibility into software
structures not present in the source code
itself, including inserted third-party
libraries, stored procedure calls, and
database connections.
The
CodeLogic CSI platform helps dev teams in
the following ways:
Stop breaking software. By capturing all
code and data dependencies in a searchable
graph database, CodeLogic empowers
developers to write code with the ability to
see other parts of the system that are
connected and analyze what is likely to
break.
Combat code complexity. CodeLogic CSI helps developers visualize highly complex and interconnected software applications that have become increasingly fragile, too big to comprehend fully and impossible to document accurately. An automated "impact score" for methods, classes, and overall application health ensure that complexity becomes manageable.
Inform
development strategy. With CodeLogic, teams
can accurately anticipate and scope planned
projects by fully understanding downstream
impacts to reconsider proposed plans and
roadmaps before investing weeks of effort.
Identify potential vulnerabilities. With increasing security threats, organizations must now maintain accurate maps of REST endpoints and be prepared to respond to zero-day events instantly. CodeLogic CSI allows these activities to be automatically performed in minutes, rather than days or weeks.
Empower dev teams. Both internal stakeholders and external service providers can collaborate and maintain scalable applications more effectively. CodeLogic CSI provides continuous scanning and a single-source-of-truth that serves as "living documentation" to keep dev teams on the same page.
"Combining binary scanning and runtime analysis defines a major evolution of developer-focused technologies that can dig deeply, widely, and continuously into the true structure of software. We scan the code and all connected data sources," Pierce said. "No other solution can store and reference the relationships and dependencies between various software elements and traverse different languages, frameworks, data models and underlying infrastructures. Our mission is to empower developers to write, modify and change code fearlessly by knowing the cause-and-effect of every deployment."
