What do you need to create before running Static Code Analysis in Copado?

Before running Static Code Analysis in Copado, it is essential to create Static Code Analysis Settings. This configuration permits you to define the parameters and rules that will guide how the static code analysis operates for your project. By establishing these settings, you can customize the analysis to suit the specific requirements of your codebase, such as enforcing coding standards, defining thresholds for code quality metrics, or selecting particular types of issues to be flagged.

The Static Code Analysis Settings are crucial because they enable integration with various coding standards and practices that are appropriate for your development team and the technologies you are using. Without properly configured settings, the analysis may not yield meaningful or useful results, potentially leading to undetected issues or irrelevant feedback.

Other options, while potentially useful in the broader context of a development project, do not directly lead to the execution of Static Code Analysis. For instance, creating Code Templates, Project Documentation, or Code Review Strategies can enhance project workflow or ensure compliance but are not prerequisites for starting the Static Code Analysis process itself.
