What record needs to be created for CodeScan to add functionality into the pipeline?

To integrate CodeScan functionality into the pipeline, the creation of Static Code Analysis Settings is essential. This record defines the parameters and configurations for how CodeScan will perform code analysis within the Copado environment. By establishing these settings, teams can tailor the analysis process to align with specific coding standards, rules, and reporting formats preferred by their organization or project.

Static Code Analysis Settings enable configuration aspects such as which specific coding standards to enforce, how to handle issues and defects detected by the analysis, and the frequency at which scans should occur within the CI/CD pipeline. These settings serve as a foundational element that allows CodeScan to run effectively and provide meaningful insights into the codebase for quality assurance purposes.

Other records, like CodeScan results, user stories, or analysis overviews, may play important roles in the overall process but are contingent upon having the initial settings established. Without the Static Code Analysis Settings, CodeScan would lack the necessary directives to execute its code analysis capabilities effectively.
