OUR UNIQUE APPROACH
The essential approach to clean code
Managing the quality of your entire code base can be overwhelming. Clean as You Code simplifies this with an incremental approach, empowering you to take ownership of all new code and keep it clean, whether it's written by you or an AI assistant.

Late-cycle issues from AI generated code can undermine developer responsibility. Clean as You Code sets clear expectations, enabling developers to fully own their code and code from an AI coding assistant, ensuring the highest quality standards.
Developers are only expected to ensure that New Code—added or changed—adheres to Clean Code standards and does not introduce new issues. This approach is simple, effective, easily adopted, and solves the AI assisted code accountability problem.
In the course of touching old code to make new edits, quality gradually gets built into your application. Your codebase is slowly remediated and overall application quality progressively improves. It’s an effortless way to yield the best results.
It takes a few simple steps to implement.
Install Sonar's™ free IDE extension, SonarQube for IDE™, to find and fix issues from the moment developers write the code. Addressing issues as you code helps you shift left and saves precious time because it's the easiest to remediate.
Ensure your project is using a Clean as You Code compliant Quality Gate focused on new code - added or changed. Then, set a new code period that is relevant to your project. Once completed respect and enforce your quality by only promoting code that passes the Quality Gate. It's that simple.
The only rule that needs to be applied is the understanding that no project will be released if it's failing its Quality Gate.

No matter the type of your application, its current state, or your team expertise, Clean as You Code establishes a standard expectation across the organization for all New Code—added or changed.
As complexity grows and software continues to evolve, developers inevitably touch existing code to make new changes. As every line of updated code goes through a Clean as You Code Quality Gate, old code gets progressively remediated in the process.
Dealing with low-quality code is frustrating for developers, but organizations don't want to invest in fixing legacy debt. Fortunately, you can avoid both. Clean as You Code is the only approach that guarantees results without extra effort.
Once AI generated code is added to the code base, nobody knows which part was generated by an AI assistant or created by a human. Clean as You Code empowers developers to retake ownership of the code by cleaning new code as they develop.
