JBCT

Java Backend Coding Technology — methodology and tooling for writing high-quality, deterministic Java code. Enforces patterns that make code predictable and maintainable.

The Problem

84% of developers now use AI coding tools, but 46% don't trust the output. Code churn from AI-generated code is 41% higher than human-written code.

Meanwhile, growing teams struggle with consistency. New developers take months to become productive. Code reviews catch style issues but miss architectural problems.

Frameworks promise productivity but often obscure business logic under layers of annotations and "magic."

The Solution

JBCT provides a methodology for writing high-quality Java code, backed by automated validation tooling.

It enforces patterns that make code predictable, maintainable, and self-documenting. The CLI catches issues with zero false negatives — if it says there's a problem, there's a problem.

For AI-generated code, JBCT acts as guardrails — catching mistakes before they reach production.

What JBCT Includes

M

Methodology

A comprehensive approach to writing deterministic, exception-free Java code. Patterns that work with the language, not against it.

  • Result and Option types for error handling
  • Parse, don't validate
  • Structural patterns (Leaf, Sequencer, Fork-Join)
  • Value objects and immutability
T

Tooling

CLI and Maven plugin for automated validation. Integrates into your existing CI/CD pipeline.

  • Deterministic validation
  • Zero false negatives
  • Pattern-based code review
  • AI code quality checks
S

Services

Training and consulting to help your team adopt JBCT effectively.

  • Team training workshops
  • Codebase assessment
  • Architecture consulting
  • Ongoing support

Modular Adoption

You don't have to adopt everything at once.

JBCT consists of several elements, and most of them are applicable to any coding style. You can start with pattern-based code review, add value objects, or adopt the full methodology — whatever fits your team.

Each element improves code quality on its own. Together, they transform how your team writes Java.

Start with:

  • Pattern-based code review guidelines
  • CLI for automated validation
  • Value objects for domain modeling

Expand to:

  • Result/Option types for error handling
  • Structural patterns for workflows
  • Full methodology adoption
