Developers’ Best Friend: WhereScape Saves Countless Hours
Development teams often struggle with an imbalance between building new features and maintaining existing code. According to studies, up to 75% of a developer’s time is spent debugging and fixing code, much of it due to manual processes. This results in 620 million developer hours wasted annually, costing companies around $61 billion!
Manual Debugging and Its Challenges
Manual debugging can be incredibly time-consuming, especially when dealing with complex, interdependent code. As one software engineer put it: “Making code do what it’s supposed to do is the easy part. Handling the myriad ways it can go wrong is the real work.” This sentiment echoes throughout the development community, as debugging tends to be the most frustrating and time-consuming aspect of software creation. Barry Morris, CEO of Undo, highlighted the urgency for organizations to reduce the time spent on finding bugs, emphasizing that automation could significantly simplify the debugging process.
WhereScape directly addresses these challenges by automating many of the tedious tasks that bog down development teams. With WhereScape RED and 3D, data infrastructure creation is streamlined through the automation of script generation, data flow management, and even documentation. This process can eliminate up to 95% of manual hand coding and debugging, thereby reducing the risk of errors and freeing up valuable time for developers to focus on building new features and improving code quality.
Reducing Debugging Time and Enhancing Productivity
WhereScape’s automation tools are designed to streamline the debugging process, allowing development teams to focus on innovation rather than maintenance. On average, developers spend up to 15 hours a week on bug resolution, with reproducing bugs alone taking up to a quarter of their time. WhereScape’s automated testing helps shift the focus away from being reactive to proactive, enabling developers to refine data models and deliver new capabilities.
WhereScape’s solutions offer seamless integration into existing workflows, flexibility for future growth, and support for large-scale data management projects. By conducting proper planning, trials, and evaluations, companies can ensure that the selected tools align with their project requirements and fit seamlessly into their development process.
Boosting Accuracy and Simplifying Complex Code
As a product evolves, the scope of regression testing grows, making it difficult to test every part manually. Testing is another prime opportunity in which automation can save myriad time and effort. For example, one company using automated testing managed to cover 80% of their regression testing scope, drastically reducing bugs in production. Automation speeds up application feedback and ensures higher test accuracy, eliminating the possibility of human error. As a result, organizations can reduce the 30x longer time typically spent on debugging compared to writing new code.
Automated testing also enables faster releases, quicker updates, shorter development cycles, and more frequent delivery to market. This increased testing speed allows for broader test coverage and identifies issues earlier, reducing overall debugging time.
WhereScape’s automation not only accelerates testing and debugging but also reduces code complexity by promoting best practices like minimizing code coupling. This simplification improves the onboarding process for new developers, helping them become productive faster without getting overwhelmed by complex codebases.
