In modern software development practices, Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) are essential methods to improve code quality and accelerate delivery speed. Alibaba Cloud DevOps Flow provides a complete toolchain to allow you to automate the process from code submission to application deployment. This topic describes how to extend code detection capabilities by using a pipeline and how to create pipeline checkpoints to ensure code quality in a merge request.
Extend code detection by using a pipeline
Alibaba Cloud DevOps Codeup provides built-in detection services and the flexibility to extend automated code detection by using pipelines. This is crucial to guarantee the robustness and security of the code. When you handle merge requests, you can customize the pipeline to add tools, such as static analysis tools and code review tools.
To do this, you can configure the pipeline in the context of merge requests to execute specific detection tasks. Examples:
Automatically trigger the pipeline when a merge request is created or updated.
Use predefined or custom pipeline templates to define detection rules.
Set mandatory automated status checks for protected branches before merging.
Tailor detection tasks as required and verify their correct execution within the pipeline.
