BlueOptima

BlueOptima supplies objective metrics on software development for executives, directors, managers and team leads. Its analysis is drawn from source code changes rather than activity counts, and covers both human-written and AI-assisted code.

The aim is to let organisations manage development resources with more standardisation and less guesswork.

What BlueOptima offers

• Productivity and quality metrics — including Actual Coding Effort and Analysis of Relative Thresholds.
• Benchmarking — a Cambridge-based benchmark comparing an estate against global data.
• Predictive assessment — coding tests that estimate how candidates will perform on an existing code base.
• Security scanning — finding open-source vulnerabilities and secrets early in development.
• Integrations — connects with platforms such as Jira.
