Rather depends on how they're measuring "code quality". A very brief search didn't turn up any specific description of their metric.

If it's simply, say, "number of issues", or even something like "average age of open issues", then an actively used lib like Angular or React is likely to have "less quality" simply because more people have been using it and filing issues over time.




Hey, thanks for the interest. It's much more complex. There's a link at the bottom of the pages pointing to a basic explanation - https://lumnify.com/grades/ . I hope that helps.


lumnify describes the criteria[1] but is incredibly vague about it. unless/until they give detailed reports on each project explaining how they arrived at their conclusions I think it's fair to treat these grades as pulled out of thin air. and even then it would be of very little/probably still no value. every project is different and you need to evaluate your tooling based on the situation.

They are not pulled out of thin air. You should contact them, and they will come with an answer. The algorithms have been tuned based on feedback from a number of Start Ups in Sydney.


they can open-source their methods/algorithms for public review if they want anyone to take their scores seriously.
