Description

Maintaining source code is one of the toughest challenges that software developers face. In a 2020 survey from Sourcegraph, 51% of developers said that they have more than 100 times the volume of code they had ten years ago while 92% say the pressure to release software faster has increased. The growing responsibilities can lead to poor-quality code slipping into production environments, increasing costs. One report estimates the impact of buggy software at $2.84 trillion per year.
