Hi,
Yesterday I came across a new service called Code Climate which
provides code metrics based on static analysis of the code. It is only
for Ruby and it's free for opensource projects. I added Conductor and
it gave the result back in a minute. You can check them at:
https://codeclimate.com/github/aeolusproject/conductor
It also has an activity feed which is now empty but as soon as new
commits will be added to Conductor it will be evaluated and will
appear in the feed. You can subscribe to it via RSS or we you can
receive updates via email. By doing that you will receive immediate
feedback of your code.
Nice find! +1
I think it's a pretty awesome service and I would like to take one
step further. Ideally, we could use this site with the intent to
improve our code quality. Currently, a huge part of our business logic
is concentrated in a few classes. It's already causing headaches for
us and it will just get worse. Martin also wrote about the need to
refactor certain parts of our codebase [1], with which I completely
agree.
To handle this issue we could allocate a small portion of every sprint
from now on to refactor the worst part of Conductor. Using Code
Climate, we can identify hot spots easily (not that it would be hard
on our own) and we will receive instant feedback on our effort.

What do you think?
