Case Study: Clever Age reduces codebase by 24% with PostSharp

Clever Age - Customer Case Study

Clever Age, a French IT consulting company, was tasked with rewriting a mission-critical satellite modelling application for the French space agency to improve its performance and maintainability. A key challenge was implementing real-time change notifications from hundreds of model properties to a 3D viewer, which would have required a massive amount of repetitive boilerplate code. They turned to the vendor PostSharp to help automate such patterns.

By implementing PostSharp, the development team used aspects to automate numerous code patterns including logging, change notification, caching, and COM interop. This approach resulted in a 24% reduction of their codebase, saving an estimated 24,000 lines of code and allowing the team to maintain a sharper focus on delivering core features. The client praised PostSharp for its low cost relative to its significant benefits and the excellent support provided.
