And, additionally, some analysts and vendors have added a fourth V, value, to the list.  These V&#8217;s are now being applied to describe the phenomenon of Big Code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Volume <\/strong>&#8211; More than half of developers say that they have 100 times more code to manage than they did 10 years ago, according to a survey by SourceGraph.<\/li><li><strong>Variety <\/strong>&#8211; Businesses are increasingly using more tools, languages, APIs, and services.<\/li><li><strong>Velocity <\/strong>&#8211; Developers say  they are increasingly under pressure to release their software at a faster pace.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/formtek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"639\" height=\"324\" src=\"https:\/\/formtek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formtek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image.png 639w, https:\/\/formtek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-300x152.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"From: SourceGraph survey\">From: SourceGraph survey<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A report from SourceGraph <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/low-and-no-code-are-wonderful-but-a-big-code-world-lurks-underneath\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/low-and-no-code-are-wonderful-but-a-big-code-world-lurks-underneath\/\">found that<\/a> &#8220;today&#8217;s massive codebases make it difficult for developers to discover, understand, and fix code because of the significant increase in its volume and complexity.
