Where does CodeScan execute its analysis?

CodeScan executes its analysis outside of the Copado platform. This is significant because it allows for a more robust and flexible analysis process by leveraging external resources that are specifically designed for code analysis tasks. By operating outside of Copado, CodeScan can integrate with various development environments and methodologies, facilitating a more comprehensive review of code quality and compliance with coding standards.

The decision to conduct the analysis outside of Copado underscores the importance of decoupling tools and processes, allowing organizations to utilize specialized analysis capabilities without being confined to the limitations of any single platform. It also enables users to run analyses independently of the main workflow in Copado, thereby improving efficiency and the developer experience.

While local machines and remote servers can be part of the broader deployment architecture, the key takeaway here is the emphasis on CodeScan's execution being autonomous and external to Copado itself, allowing for greater versatility in how code reviews and quality assurance are managed within a development lifecycle.
