Quality assurance is of great importance in software projects. With many contributors, it becomes a burden for open source projects to depend entirely on manual code reviews to keep up with code quality. This workshop highlights how projects can ensure code quality using Static Analysis Integration.
Static Analysis tools, check for and detect errors within a code base without running the code. When integrated into a projects CI/CD they can detect subtle code errors that would otherwise be missed by manual code review. This saves review time for both project contributors and reviewers as contributors see errors within their commits once they make a pull request and then fix them. This also serves as a means for quality assurance. This workshop will involve integrating a static analysis tool(Psalm) as part of the continuous integration workflow for a Github project. The Technical requirements are as follows
- Internet access
- Github Account
- Server space(Digital ocean droplet recommended)
All of these can be gotten for free.
