In their own words
QualityGate
QualityGate continuously measures source-code quality and development-team performance, with analysis run inside the customer’s infrastructure and only results uploaded to its servers. Its current static analyzers support Java, C# and JavaScript, and can analyze code stored in Git or TFS. Metrics cover size, complexity, inheritance, coupling, cohesion, documentation and duplication; analyzers also identify hundreds of coding issues, including security vulnerabilities and possible runtime exceptions. Dataflow analysis and symbolic code execution can find vulnerabilities listed in the OWASP Top Ten. QualityGate scores maintainability on a ten-grade scale against benchmarks that include other customers’ systems. It checks every check-in on a selected branch and can fit into sprints, code reviews and CI/CD pipelines. Results are queryable through a REST API, and users can build custom quality models from more than one hundred metrics. The agent runs as a Docker image on Linux or a Windows service. It is available on Linux, Windows, web, API and self-hosted deployments, with a free plan and free trial.
