In their own words
CodeChecker
CodeChecker is free, open-source static-analysis infrastructure built on LLVM and Clang Static Analyzer tooling. Its command-line tools run supported analyzers against a JSON compilation database and generate reports. The web interface stores, filters, compares, and visualizes findings, including code bug paths, while reviewers can comment and set status. Reanalysis can be limited to changed files and their dependencies. Listed language coverage includes C/C++, C#, Java, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, and Markdown. Integrations cover Gerrit, GitLab, and a reusable GitHub Actions workflow. A Visual Studio Code extension runs analysis, reanalyzes saved files, and browses reports. Servers can run locally or in Docker, with PostgreSQL or SQLite storage and configurable authentication. CodeChecker requires Python 3.11 or later.
