Beta v1.3 Release Notes -- Measuring Developer Retention, CVEs, and Cyber Security Risk; better reports usability; Codacy API - October 15, 2023

Here's Beta version 1.3 release notes for the CTO Dashboard.

We're feeling frisky and skipped v1.2. ;0

Part 1 of 3 -- More Metrics

We added a metric on developer retention, part of the Team section -- the most important single measure of codebase health. 



We added a CVEs, a Code Security metric from security warnings from third-party code.


And we added a Cyber Security metric, this one a rollup of thirteen risk vectors such as incomplete email setup and breached credentials.



Want to know how all of the metrics tie together? We just published a blog post on the 12 metrics that matter most for codebase health. We're adding these metrics as we go to the dashboard.

Part 2 of 3 -- Better Usability

Most of the detail charts now have a date switcher for common date ranges:

And we split the Insights page into three separate pages for clarity and usability.

You can use the Executive Summary page standalone for your daily and weekly check-ins and prep for Board meetings, then dive into the detail on Product and Compliance as needed.

Part 3 of 3 -- Adding Another Engineering tool-- Codacy, for code quality and security

You can now connect Codacy through its API.

By the next release, you'll be able to see the stats from Codacy in the dashboard.
