What is a Software architecture scan

Software architecture scan offers a real-time view of your software architecture to visualize, optimize, and innovate your systems with clarity. We assess your source code using SIG’s architecture quality model, benchmarked against the world’s largest software quality database and global architecture standards.

2 tailored reports

Receive a boardroom-ready executive summary and a technical deep-dive packed with actionable recommendations.

Clear, objective insights

An unbiased view of your current architecture, evaluated using SIG’s proven Architecture Quality Model.

Global benchmarking at scale

See how your systems stack up against the world’s largest software quality database: over 300 billion lines of code analyzed.

Technology-agnostic assessments

Assess any technology, including proprietary software. 300+ technologies supported.

What do we measure

We evaluate five essential characteristics reflected in 9 system properties that determine how future-ready your architecture really is.

The report includes

01
Executive summary for the boardroom
Fast, actionable recommendations delivering immediate ROI. All in one page.
02
Deep dive 1: Structure
How your systems are organized into clear, modular components.
03
Deep dive 2: Communication
How different components interact cleanly and can depend on each other.
04
Deep dive 3: Data Access
How your systems store and retrieve critical data efficiently.
05
Deep dive 4: Evolution
How your software can adapt to change without breaking.
06
Deep dive 5: Knowledge
How expertise is distributed correctly across your teams.
