Well Developed Open Source Projects
We analyze well-known open source projects in depth with CppDepend.
Projects that demonstrate outstanding code quality, architecture and maintainability earn the Well Developed Project badge. For each awarded project we publish a full analysis on our blog, explaining what makes the codebase a reference for the community.
What the badge means
The Well Developed Project badge is awarded to open source projects whose analysis reveals exemplary engineering practices:
Solid Architecture
Clean layering, controlled dependencies and no major dependency cycles between components.
Low Technical Debt
Debt kept under control relative to the size and age of the codebase.
Disciplined Code Quality
Coding standards are respected and critical issues stay rare across releases.
Maintainability at Scale
The codebase remains evolvable and welcoming to new contributors as it grows.
Awarded projects
Godot Engine
C++One of the largest and most popular open source C++ codebases. Our in-depth analysis of Godot’s architecture, code quality and technical debt shows how a massive game engine stays well structured and maintainable.
OpenCV
C++The reference open source computer-vision library. Our analysis shows how OpenCV applies the KISS and YAGNI principles to keep a huge C++ codebase clean, focused and evolvable.
