The role of software assets in M&A transactions becomes increasingly important for the evaluation of business risks and the commercial or strategic value of the target. The tight time frame makes it obviously inevitable to apply a tool-assisted approach for the assessment of the technology status and the inherent risks. There is a growing understanding that widely used static code analysis tools can not deliver the necessary depth of insight for the investor compared to the analysis of the history of the code and its changes.

The next blog is focusing on the human factor and why the identification of key developers needs to look beyond knowledge islands.
