Towards a Continuous DDD Metric: Beyond the Limits of Event Storming

The world of software development oscillates between the precision of design and the speed of iterations.
DDD has returned to fashion in recent years, pushing teams to identify bounded contexts and their ubiquitous languages by increasing collaboration with business people.
But what happens when the project is launched? The routine of sprints takes over with a code base that slowly diverges from the initial good intentions.

In this talk, I will present an innovation that allows you to continuously measure and monitor the quality of the ubiquitous language in the code with:
- Set up and maintain a business glossary by bounded context
- Use AST to extract a DDD score from a code base
- Use visual management to involve and negotiate with the business

The tool is currently deployed at the French public investment bank and helps focus design efforts among a dozen teams.
