About Our Analysis Tools​

GitHub CodeQL​

We use GitHub CodeQL for automated security analysis. CodeQL is GitHub's semantic code analysis engine that helps identify:

  • Security vulnerabilities - Potential security issues in your code
  • Bugs and errors - Logic errors and potential runtime issues
  • Code quality issues - Patterns that could lead to problems

SonarCloud​

We use SonarCloud for comprehensive code quality analysis. SonarCloud provides:

  • Code quality metrics - Maintainability, reliability, and security ratings
  • Technical debt analysis - Time to fix code quality issues
  • Code coverage integration - Test coverage analysis with JaCoCo
  • Security hotspot detection - Potential security vulnerabilities
  • Code smell detection - Anti-patterns and maintainability issues
  • Duplication analysis - Code duplication detection

Analysis Schedule​

Our security and quality analysis runs automatically:

  • CodeQL: Every Thursday at 3:15 AM UTC
  • SonarCloud: Every Monday at 2:00 AM UTC
  • On every push to the master branch
  • On every pull request to the master branch
  • Languages analyzed: Java
