Teamscale: software quality control in real-time

Abstract

When large software systems evolve, the quality of source code is essential for successful maintenance. Controlling code quality continuously requires adequate tool support. Current quality analysis tools operate in batch-mode and run up to several hours for large systems, which hampers the integration of quality control into daily development. In this paper, we present the incremental quality analysis tool Teamscale, providing feedback to developers within seconds after a commit and thus enabling real-time software quality control. We evaluated the tool within a development team of a German insurance company. A video demonstrates our tool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnuqplu75Cg.
