QualityGate description

QualityGate (https://quality-gate.com) is software rendered as a set of services that continuously measures and monitors the quality of the source code of software systems as-well-as the performance of development teams. Source code is analyzed onsite, by static analyzer tools, without ever getting out of the End User’s infrastructure. Only the final results of the analysis (metrics, list of coding issues and duplications, etc.) are uploaded to QualityGate servers hosted by FrontEndART for having them evaluated against benchmarks by using sophisticated quality models. The following information is uploaded to QualityGate servers:

• CMS (Git, TFS, etc.) metadata including the commit messages, commit timestamps, author names, hash, mapping between the branches and versions (commits).  No access keys or passwords for accessing the source code is uploaded.
• Internal IP address of the machine running the analysis. This IP address need and should not even exist outside of the End User’s organization. This information is used when the End User attempts to view the source code through QualityGate dashboard. In this case the source code is obtained by the End User’s browser directly from the machine running the analysis, without ever getting out from the End User’s infrastructure.
• Unique names of source code elements and their line information (file name, line, end line, column, end column). This includes names of packages, classes, methods, attributes. Source code is not uploaded in any form.
• Metric values for source code elements.
• The location of coding issues found (file name, line, end line, column, end column). Source code is not uploaded in any form.
• The location of code duplications. Source code is not uploaded in any form.

The results of analysis can be accessed and browsed through the dashboards of QualityGate.
