DeepCode is unique in its ability to apply machine learning to improve the quality of computer programming code. It is able to identify and recommend programming best practices that are embedded in millions of lines of code in public and private software repositories, but not necessarily documented or easily identified. DeepCode’s machine learning algorithms extract those learnings automatically, without reliance on human defined rules, and then used to help developers optimise their code.
The automation of this process dramatically reduces the cost of software development by reducing the number of bugs in code, identifying them earlier in the programming process, when they are less expensive to correct. This reduces the burden on testing later in the process. For software users, this results in better, more efficient, and more secure applications.
