Compliance with sophisticated coding standards, as well as measurement and reporting capabilities for multiple software projects. In its latest version, its functionality is enhanced to make the Continuous Code Inspection process even more effective.
The adoption of structured code inspections remains surprisingly low despite their well-documented and compelling advantages. Historically, inspections have required significant manual effort, have been difficult to scale due to the increasing volume and complexity of code, and have inevitably placed pressure on the most experienced members of the development team due to deadlines and resource constraints.
A key part of the solution is automating code inspection. By replacing manual inspections with QA•Verify's advanced features, organizations can perform code inspections in an automated and collaborative environment. This is achieved through several key product features:
• Capture and documentation of specific notes and corresponding comment sequences for each review, as well as subsequent action assignments to developers.
• Identification of runtime issues and the use of undefined languages (among the most important contributions to code inspection).
• Code structure and metrics with trend graphs for the entire operational lifecycle of each feature; these provide a forecast of code complexity.
• Availability of a detailed picture of coding compliance that incorporates sophisticated mechanisms for controlling deviations.
• Continuous and incremental analysis that can be activated through integration into the build environment, including continuous build environments such as Jenkins.
Inspection doesn't have to be a subjective, tedious, contentious, and labor-intensive activity. Thanks to powerful automation and online collaboration, as well as continuous and incremental updates, the new paradigm of Continuous Code Inspection is being solidified by the integration of QA•Verify's intelligent features.
