Case Study: University of Antwerp improves software reengineering with CodeScene

University of Antwerp gets students up to speed with CodeScene in one lab session

The University of Antwerp's master-level Software Reengineering course faced the challenge of teaching students how to effectively restructure and refactor existing software systems. To provide students with the necessary insights and overview of complex codebases, the university utilized CodeScene.

CodeScene provided the solution by enabling students to quickly visualize software and identify refactoring candidates through its Technical Debt tab and complexity metrics. The tool had an easy learning curve, with students becoming comfortable using it after a single lab session. CodeScene effectively complemented other tools like SonarQube by providing a high-level overview that justified refactoring decisions. The result was that students gained the skills to successfully begin and execute software restructuring projects.
