Technical Debt Removal
Continuous refactoring. Incremental test coverage. Zero disruption.
Systematically eliminate technical debt through autonomous, governed refactoring. Helix identifies debt hotspots, generates refactoring plans, and increases test coverage incrementally — all while your team ships features.
The Challenge
Technical debt compounds faster than teams can address it
Every team knows their debt. Few have the bandwidth to address it. Manual refactoring is risky, time-consuming, and constantly deprioritized in favor of feature work.
Refactoring is manually intensive and competes with feature delivery
Low test coverage makes changes risky and unpredictable
Debt accumulates in areas teams avoid touching
No systematic approach to measure or reduce debt over time
The Helix Approach
Autonomous debt reduction that runs alongside feature work
Helix continuously analyzes your codebase for debt hotspots, generates targeted refactoring PRs, and incrementally increases test coverage. Each change is small, safe, and fully governed.
Debt Hotspot Detection
Automated analysis identifies high-complexity, high-churn areas where refactoring will have the greatest impact.
Continuous Refactoring
Small, targeted refactoring PRs are generated autonomously. Each one is self-contained, tested, and reviewable.
Incremental Test Coverage
Helix generates tests for untested code paths, steadily increasing coverage without blocking feature development.
Debt Metrics Dashboard
Track debt reduction over time with clear metrics: complexity scores, coverage percentages, and churn analysis.
How it works
A governed, traceable flow from start to finish.
Codebase Analysis
Helix scans your repository for complexity hotspots, untested paths, code duplication, and dependency issues.
Prioritized Debt Plan
Generates a ranked backlog of refactoring opportunities based on impact, risk, and effort.
Autonomous Refactoring
Small, safe refactoring PRs are generated continuously alongside new test coverage for modified paths.
Measure & Iterate
Track debt reduction metrics. Helix adapts its prioritization as the codebase improves.
