Extending Qodana: customization in code quality

Why expand Qodana?

Qodana brings code inspections and quick fixes from JetBrains IDEs directly to your CI/CD pipeline, the cloud, or even a Docker container. So it's nice and flexible. However, every digital organisation is unique. Standard analyses do not always cover all risks or agreements. Perhaps you have sector-specific compliance requirements, your own naming conventions, or you want additional checks on legacy components.

The good news: you can now add custom code inspections to Qodana. This gives your development pipeline exactly the checks that matter to your organisation. This way, you leave no room for unintended errors and maintain control over your code quality.

How does adding your own inspections work?

You may be thinking: isn't this something only for large tech teams? On the contrary. The process is surprisingly accessible. You build your own inspections with JetBrains' trusted technology and add them directly to your Qodana setup. Whether Qodana runs in the cloud, via Docker, in your CI/CD pipeline, or directly in the IDE, the custom checks work exactly the same as the standard rules.

What's more, you keep everything centralised and scalable. New business rules or best practices? Capture them in a custom inspection and roll them out across all projects within the organisation. This makes knowledge sharing easy and consistent.

What are the concrete benefits for your organisation?

The main advantages are immediately apparent. Custom inspections give you maximum control over code quality in your development process. Three practical benefits:

• Faster, automatically secured quality checks

• Less reliance on manual reviews

• Faster compliance with industry or audit requirements

This acceleration and control enable you to launch new features more quickly and reliably, without compliance or technical debt affecting your peace of mind. With a single centralised environment, company-specific requirements no longer become a bottleneck.

Availability and integration

Qodana is growing rapidly and the platform is continuously being developed to meet the latest requirements. The ability to add custom code inspections is a recent update, coming at a time when companies need customisation within their DevOps process. You can continue to rely on reliable integrations with other tools and platforms.

You may be wondering: does Qodana connect to our existing infrastructure? The answer is yes, provided you configure it wisely. Combine custom inspections with your existing work process, and you will get the most out of it. Would you rather not figure everything out yourself? Choose a partner like Cube that offers hands-on guidance.

Trusted quality, flexible customisation

Why settle for standard when you can have your unique business rules checked automatically? Extending Qodana with custom code inspections eliminates noise and miscommunication between teams. You strengthen your development culture and your digital edge at the same time.
