Which of the following tools does Copado utilize for executing code scanning?

Copado utilizes CodeScan for executing code scanning, which is specifically designed to analyze Salesforce code. CodeScan provides detailed information about code quality, adherence to best practices, and potential security vulnerabilities within Salesforce applications. By integrating directly with the Salesforce environment, it enables developers to maintain high standards in their code and ensures that best practices are followed. This focus on Salesforce-specific code quality makes CodeScan particularly suitable for Copado's continuous integration and deployment processes.

While other tools like SonarQube, PMD, and Checkmarx are valuable for various code scanning and quality assurance tasks, they are not specifically tailored for the Salesforce platform in the same way that CodeScan is. This specialization is why CodeScan is the correct choice for Copado's code scanning execution.
