Case Study: LSports achieves 10x unit test coverage growth with Codacy

LSports boosts unit test coverage from 7% to 70% with Codacy

LSports, a provider of real-time sports data solutions, faced significant challenges with code quality, including frequent production issues and a lack of standardized practices across its 800 core repositories. With unit test coverage averaging below 7%, they needed to replace their existing tool, SonarCloud, due to its complex setup, unpredictable pricing, and compilation requirements. They turned to the vendor Codacy to implement a scalable code analysis solution.

Codacy provided a flexible platform that enabled LSports to establish unified quality gates and enforce security standards at the pull request level. The solution integrated seamlessly into their IDE and CI pipeline, providing immediate feedback to developers. As a result, LSports achieved a 10x increase in unit test coverage, from 7% to 70%, and prevented any new critical security issues from being introduced over a two-year period, all while scaling their engineering team.
