On-Prem Deployment - AMI with CloudFormation
The deployment diagram shows an EC2 instance running CodeScene in Docker and the Load balancer (ALB). There's a web server running on the instance and listening on port 3003 (plain HTTP). Access to this port is granted to ALB via a security group rule. Outgoing Internet traffic is via Internet GW. Daily backups with EBS snapshots via Lifecycle Manager. Logs are sent to codescene CloudWatch group. SSH Connection to the instance via SSM (ec2-user)
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."

Usage instructions
Check out our Getting Started documentation: https://docs.enterprise.codescene.io/latest/getting-started/aws-marketplace.html
This product requires an Internet connection to deploy and perform subsequent updates of the product. The following packages are downloaded on deployment:
- docker-compose binary: https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/
- codescene docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/codescene/codescene
This product also requires an ongoing Internet connection. The following external services are required to properly function:
This product is accessible only via HTTPS - you MUST set the "CertificateARN" parameter for this to work. The certificate must be created separately by your infrastructure team - see aws docs for more details: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/userguide/gs.html
The "IngressIP" template parameter specifies the source IP range allowed to access the deployed application. It should be specified according to your network security policies. Note that "PR Integration" (https://docs.enterprise.codescene.io/latest/integrations/pr-integration/integrate-into-ci-cd.html ), requires an open network route from your Git provider (such as GitHub, BitBucket, GitLab, or Azure DevOps) to the CodeScene app to receive PR webhooks events. If you have an on-premise installation of a Git provider (such as GitHub Enterprise) you can restrict the incoming traffic to your IP ranges. If you use a publicly hosted Git provider (such as github.com) you need to either allow all traffic with "0.0.0.0/0" (less secure) or periodically update the load balancer's security group based on the provider's published IP ranges (e.g. https://api.github.com/meta ).
An IAM role (CodeSceneEC2Role) is created during deployment. This role gives the CodeScene instance necessary permissions for communicating with AWS License Manager (to fetch Contract license info), to deliver logs to CloudWatch, and for secure connections to the instance via Session Manager (SSM).
After the CloudFormation stack is deployed, access the CodeScene web UI via a custom hostname/domain (that you created and associated with the load balancer (ALB)), If you don't have a custom domain, use the ALB's domain - to find it, go to the 'Resources' tab in the CloudFormation stack details, open the link in the "Physical ID" column of the "ApplicationLoadBalancer" resource, and copy "DNS name".
To log in for the first time, use the default admin account: 'aws.marketplace' username and the ec2 instance id as the password.
After you log in, use the web UI hostname as "CodeScene Host URL" in Configuration -> System -> Host/Network Settings. Also, consider removing the default login message in Configuration -> License. Finally, we recommend creating your own admin user in Configuration -> Authentication and deleting the default 'aws.marketplace' user.
To update the CodeScene app to the latest codescene (image) version, connect to the instance and run /home/ec2-user/codescene/codescene.sh update. To connect to the instance, open the AWS console -> EC2 -> right-click on the codescene instance -> Connect -> Session Manager -> Connect (make sure the username is ec2-user).

The best tool I've used that targets Maintainability quality characteristic.
Reviewed on Apr 07, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
There are multiple quality characteristics (see ISO 25000 or the Heuristic Test Strategy Model) but the Maintainability-characteristic has always been a sore spot for me: Very important but difficult to test. Using Codescene I've gotten an excellent overview of the code health (the code quality so to speak) and helps setting targets.
The Pull Request reviews are especially fantastic and works as an additional senior code reviewer that reviews every piece of code that comes into the main or develop branches for all teams. This feature alone makes it possible for me to guarantee maintainability of all new code up to a certain level. For the pilot team we measured roughly a frequency of a couple of pull request analysis per day for a development team of 6-7 people.
As a Test and Quality manager it is perfect to get an overview and the developers in the teams feel that it helps them produce better code. It also helps teams do better describe the cost benefit of increasing code health/quality by spending time on refactoring certain hotspots, a benefit that can be tricky to explain to stakeholders lacking development expertise.
All in all my expectation on this tool is that the maintenance cost of our development lifecycle will decrease by a substantial degree in the future.
I had to set the server up by myself but the fast deployment using Docker was great. The software also works with common authentication methods which made it easy to connect to the software I wanted it to pull information from.
The customer support has been good, I've had a contact that replied in a quick manner and this helped us delpoy Codescene rahter quickly.

What do you dislike about the product?
The downsides so far has been few, but there are some features that are difficult to use when you work with an organization where opening firewall ports or working with proxies are a challenge. There is for example an excellent integration with Azure DevOps for automatic code reviews, but if you Azure DevOps instance is on the outside of the network where Codescene is running they cannot connect without proxy or opening a firewall port. This can be handled by using local Azure DevOps agents running that can call the Codescene API, but some features such as counting the number of analyzed PR's are then not activated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main challenge was how to address the Maintainability quality characteristic. For functional suitability we can perform testing and use test automation (such as unit-test up to system test) to secure that characteristic. Using Codescene we can now describe the Maintainability of the code.
We also have a challenge with code delivered by external parties and sometimes we have seen that their code lives up to the acceptance criteria but is not very maintainable and not written for maintainability (spaghetti code so to speak) . Using Codescene we can now add an additional criteria that is easily explainable and understandable and in that way we can guarantee the Maintainability of incoming code to a certain degree.

What do you like best about the product?
CodeScene is straightforward to set up and configure, making it easy to get started. The visualizations are excellent, and once you become familiar with navigating the tool, it is a true game changer both for developers prioritizing their work and communicating these priorities to business.
What makes CodeScene stand out in the jungle of solutions, are their dedication to the science behind good code health. I'm confident in the choices they make and the product baseline for code analysis.

What do you dislike about the product?
The main challenge we face with CodeScene is getting developers to incorporate it into their daily workflow. While there are several shift-left solutions available, such as the CLI and VS Code IDE, the absence of a Visual Studio IDE integration is a significant drawback for our team. We also find the lack of out-of-the-box configurations that integrate seamlessly with our CI/CD tools to be a limitation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team has a huge stack of legacy code with potential high maintenance technical debt, CodeScene help visualize this and promote a clear view of potential blockers. Also, the primary problem CodeScene is solving for our teams is declining code health in new solutions - with the Pull Request integration we can keep our code at a high standard from early on.
