TETRA (the Technical Debt Reduction Platform) is Intetics’ proprietary, consultative service for in-depth software quality assessment. It evaluates an application across eight dimensions, including source code quality, security, performance and architecture, to surface technical debt and compliance issues.

The method is based on ISO standards and years of original research, and has been published in the peer-reviewed ASTES journal. It serves developers, managers, investors and buyers who need an objective view of product quality before investing further; one client reported saving 22% of redevelopment costs.
