Feedback is key to improvement. Therefore TIOBE is putting all efforts in providing the feedback as soon as possible, and in the right format, from bit to board.
At development-level, feedback is provided via direct checking of the code, before it is checked in, but also with quality gates stopping defects slipping through. Marking what is wrong, why it’s wrong and how to do it better.
At management level, our TiCS dashboard highlights which projects are improving, where the major risks are in your software products and which systems are at acceptable quality levels.
This way, TIOBE helps in not only fixing violations, but ensuring that the code is improving.
