Static code analysis that runs where your code lives.

Inspect risky source patterns, insecure APIs, secrets, and structural review debt locally, then carry the same finding evidence into reports, agents, or CI.

What Static code analysis means here.

Code Radar uses Static code analysis to turn repository signals into file-level findings, severity, confidence, remediation guidance, and portable review evidence before a pull request is opened.

Capability

Evidence to inspect

Verify the input scope, finding detail, workflow handoff, and product boundary before you install or buy.

CriterionEvidence to inspectBoundary
Input scopeSelected files, configuration, scan mode, and enabled rules.Only included paths and configured checks are evaluated.
Finding detailFile, line, rule ID, severity, explanation, and repair direction.Illustrative output is not a result from your repository.
Workflow handoffLocal result, report format, agent context, and optional CI signal.Enable exports or CI only when the workflow needs them.
Decision fitUse the same criteria on a real repository before choosing a plan or tool.No universal winner or guaranteed outcome is claimed.

The problem this page helps clarify

The useful question is where Static code analysis changes the review loop: what enters the scan, who acts on a finding, and which evidence moves forward. Insecure APIs, injection paths, hardcoded secrets, and structural review debt in source files.

  • Audience: Developers who need source-level signal before a pull request exists.
  • Focus: Insecure APIs, injection paths, hardcoded secrets, and structural review debt in source files.
  • Review question: What does Static code analysis cover in practice?

Coverage and concrete signals

For Static code analysis, inspect the concrete scope below instead of relying on a category label. File and line locations, rule identifiers, severity, confidence, and portable SARIF evidence.

  • Focus: Insecure APIs, injection paths, hardcoded secrets, and structural review debt in source files.
  • Workflow: Workflow: source patterns · insecure APIs · secrets · SARIF

From local signal to shared gate.

Static code analysis: Use the smallest workflow that proves value. Each later step should reuse evidence the team already understands. Insecure APIs, injection paths, hardcoded secrets, and structural review debt in source files.

Evidence to inspect before you trust the result.

Static code analysis: A useful result must be explainable to a developer and portable to the next review surface. Inspect the concrete evidence below before changing team policy. File and line locations, rule identifiers, severity, confidence, and portable SARIF evidence.

  • Workflow: source patterns · insecure APIs · secrets · SARIF
  • Exact file location, rule context, severity, confidence, and remediation guidance.
  • Terminal output, SARIF, JSON, or HTML artifacts generated from the same finding set.
  • Source stays in the workspace or CI runner where the scan executes.

Good fit and limits

Use Static code analysis when Developers who need source-level signal before a pull request exists. Keep the boundary explicit: Static checks do not observe runtime configuration, production traffic, or exploitability without human review.

Run the local proof before adopting a shared gate.

  • Good fit: Developers who need source-level signal before a pull request exists.
  • Not a fit / do not overreach: Static checks do not observe runtime configuration, production traffic, or exploitability without human review.

Questions to verify before rollout

These questions keep the decision tied to observable evidence rather than a broad product promise.

What does Static code analysis cover in practice?

Static code analysis: The practical scope is Insecure APIs, injection paths, hardcoded secrets, and structural review debt in source files.. Start with the listed entities or files and confirm the result on representative code.

Which evidence should I inspect for Static code analysis?

Static code analysis: Inspect File and line locations, rule identifiers, severity, confidence, and portable SARIF evidence. Keep the source location, rule or comparison context, and exported artifact together.

What should I not infer from Static code analysis?

Static code analysis: Do not infer universal coverage. Static checks do not observe runtime configuration, production traffic, or exploitability without human review. Use the relevant comparison or workflow page to test the boundary before changing policy.

What should I try first for Static code analysis?

Static code analysis: Start with a local run, review one real finding, then choose the linked report, agent, CI, or trust workflow that matches the next decision.
