Enabling Day One Productivity for a European FinTech Giant

Introducing code analysis and documentation to AiDE® was crucial for enhancing code comprehension and maintainability. This initiative addressed the need to seamlessly onboard new joiners and get them up to speed to be productive from Day One and create comprehensive documentation automatically to ensure long-term platform strength.

The client faced challenges such as redundant code bases leading to tech debt, long time to onboard new developers and testing due to lack of platform understanding, increased person dependency due to legacy knowledge, and lack of collaboration, all stemming from the fact that comprehensive and up to date documentation of the platforms and systems did not exist. Implementing automated source code summarization and documentation was the need of the hour for the BFS leader.

To address development challenges for the client, we implemented inline code documentation, embedding comments detailing purpose and functionality within the code. Additionally, we utilized a dependency table outlining relationships and dependencies between code entities, aiding in effective management. The code summarization tool provided a high level of key functionalities and components. Our efforts enhanced code readability, streamlined troubleshooting, and facilitated collaboration, ensuring comprehension, maintenance ease, and smoother onboarding processes for our engineers.
