Code Health Monitor

Track code health in real-time as you work. The Monitor highlights code smells and shows you opportunities where to improve your code.

Code Health Analysis

CodeScene’s Code Health metric is the software industry’s only code-level metric with proven business impact, measured through fact-based, winning research. It’s a metric that you can trust.

The extension analyses and scores your code as you type, and adds diagnostic items that highlights any code smells.

Language support

CodeScene supports most popular languages.

Custom Code Health rules

To customize the code analysis you can either use local Code Comment Directives or create a code-health-rules.json file which applies to the entire project.

Code Smells

Code smells often lead to issues such as increased technical debt, more bugs, and reduced overall quality of the software.

You can find detailed information for each code smell by either clicking the corresponding codelens in the editor, by examining the diagnostics (squigglies or in the Problems view), or by using the Quick Fix action menu (light bulb).

ACE AI-Powered Refactoring

As of this version, ACE is no longer part of the public extension. It is now available exclusively to paying customers. Thank you to everyone who tested ACE during the beta and shared feedback.
