    Key Features

    • Total Team Technical Debt: Indicates the total development time needed to resolve all findings.
    • Unapproved Exceptions: Displays the number of exceptions awaiting approval or rejection.
    • Health Score: Represents the percentage of definition occurrences with no findings, calculated as 1 - (F / D) 100.
    • Active Scan Engine Definitions: Shows how many definitions are currently utilized by the Scan Engine.
    • Technical Debt by Category: Estimates the development time required to resolve findings categorized by type.
    • Open Findings by Developer: Lists open findings associated with individual developers.
    • Trend Charts: Includes various charts such as technical debt over time, findings by impact, and real-time preventions, all customizable by date.

    Key Outcomes

    Utilizing the dashboard allows team leads to effectively monitor team performance, prioritize resolution efforts based on impact, and manage unapproved exceptions efficiently. This leads to more streamlined workflows, improved resolution of high-impact findings, and better overall management of technical debt within the development team.

    The Team Lead dashboard includes trend charts and the following overview modules.

    Table 1. Team Lead dashboard overview
    Information module Description
    Total team technical debt The amount of development time required to resolve all findings for the team.
    Unapproved exceptions The number of exceptions currently waiting to be approved or rejected.
    Health score

    The health score represents the percentage of definition occurrences used across the platform that did not return any findings. It is calculated as:

    1 - (F / D) * 100

    Where F is the number of findings, and D is the number of definition occurrences.

    "Definition occurrences" refers to the total number of times a definition has been executed by the Scan Engine to generate findings.

    Active scan engine definitions The number of definitions currently being used by the Scan Engine.
    Technical debt by category The estimated amount of development time required to resolve all findings within each category for the entire team.
    Open findings by developer
    • All open findings sorted by each developer on the team.
    • The value in the center is the total number of open findings for all selected developers.
    • Select a name to add or remove the developer from the chart.

    Team Lead trend charts

    The Team Lead dashboard includes the following trend charts.
