Instantly Fix Code Smells in Your IDE with AI-Powered Refactoring
The best time to catch code health issues? As early as possible — while the code is still being written. We'll demonstrate how you can detect and eliminate code smells as you code, in your editor.
The Code Health Monitor keeps you updated on any issues without interrupting your workflow. And using AI-powered CodeScene ACE, you can automatically refactor if you need it, without disrupting your workflow.
The Code Health Monitor is analyzing your code while you're writing it
The Code Health Monitor runs continuously, analyzing the code as you write. If you accidentally degrade the code health, you’ll be immediately notified of the issue, where it occurred, and what it involves. You'll quickly understand why the issue matters and how to address it. You can then take corrective actions — either manually or with the support of our auto-refactoring extension , CodeScene ACE. Once the changes are made, the Code Health Monitor will confirm whether your actions have resolved the issue.?
But why is our code health metric unique and how is it calculated? And why should you care? Read and find out.
Tackle code smells as you write your code
In the above example you can see that we've inadvertently made a Java file decline in code health while adding some new fancy feature. It now contains three different code smells:?
No good!? We do not want to commit the work in this shape. If we do, it might be caught later in a review, a quality gate, or even worse - become a part of our legacy, contributing to the technical debt of the company's codebase. So, likely this will come back and haunt us and in extension diminish the company's competitive edge. Taking care of this NOW is a real business advantage.
Not good! Committing code in this shape can lead to problems later — whether caught in a review, blocked by a quality gate, or worse, buried in the codebase, adding to the company’s technical debt. If left unresolved, this can come back to haunt us, diminishing both team productivity and the company’s competitive edge. Addressing this now provides a real business advantage.
Discover how measuring technical debt provides a unique, proactive solution.

How to automatically fix technical debt with AI-powered refactoring?
Watch the tutorial to discover how you can instantly fix technical debt directly from your editor, preventing future issues before they arise. This ensures only maintainable code gets merged into your product.
In this example, we showcase Java code filled with nested logic and complex expressions. We demonstrate how we identify these code smells and explain our metrics for detecting complex methods. You also see an AI-generated refactoring option that allows you to optimize the code for long-term maintainability with just one click — all within your editor.
Why should you care about declining code health??
Why wait until code health declines? By addressing issues as they arise, you prevent technical debt from building up — a significant win. The Code Health Monitor supports this proactive approach, fostering a healthy coding culture that naturally becomes part of your team's workflow.
But Code Health Monitor doesn’t just alert you to declining code health. Even if you haven’t introduced issues, your code may still have room for improvement. Why not enhance code health while you're already making changes? The Code Health Monitor suggests improvements that can elevate the code quality beyond its previous state. Over time, this leads to a net reduction in technical debt.
The result? Less time spent wrestling with unmanageable code, faster delivery, and higher-quality products .
