Industries
Software companies: how your code got built.
Repositories, reviews and tickets show how real software grows and gets fixed. Customer data in tickets is replaced, and client owned code is checked first.
Get my estimateThe first concern we hear
Code owned by clients
If you build software for clients, some of that code may belong to them and may need their permission. It depends on your contracts, so ask your own counsel. You can exclude client projects.
Ticket customer data
Customers are often named in tickets and chat threads. Keys and credentials are removed, and names, emails and account details are replaced with placeholders.
There is no cost to you, an NDA comes first, and nothing goes out before you approve a sample.
Questions
What software companies ask
- Does anyone get into our Git hosting?
- No. Passwords and logins are never requested. The copy is prepared without you handing over access to your tools.
- Could we leave out one product?
- Yes. Any repository, product or time period can be excluded.
- Does the code need to be open source?
- No. The point is your private repositories. You choose which ones, and any secrets in them are removed.
Useful records
What usually proves useful
You do not need all of these. A single well kept system can be enough to begin the conversation.
Repos and their history
How a codebase grows, gets refactored and changes over years.
Review history
What reviewers spot, push back on and sign off.
Bug tracking
How issues are reported, reproduced and closed.
Release notes and specs
Why your systems are built the way they are.
Why labs want these records
Coding models get better by seeing how real teams review, break and repair code over years, not just finished snippets. Your commit history, reviews and tickets capture exactly this, which is why labs license them.
