Accelerate code delivery with automated technical debt management and intelligent static analysis.

Automated static analysis and technical debt monitoring integrated directly into the DevSecOps lifecycle.
GitLab Code Quality is a core module of the GitLab DevSecOps platform designed to identify code smells and maintainability issues before they reach production. In 2026, the tool has evolved beyond basic linting, leveraging the GitLab Duo AI engine to provide context-aware remediation suggestions directly within Merge Requests (MRs). Architecturally, it utilizes the CodeClimate engine and Docker-in-Docker (DinD) executors to run a suite of static analysis tools tailored to the specific languages in the repository. It generates comprehensive reports in JSON format (gl-code-quality-report.json) which are then visualized through a differential UI widget in the MR view. This allows teams to see exactly how a proposed change affects the health of the codebase. By 2026, the tool's market position is defined by its deep integration with GitLab’s security and compliance dashboards, allowing enterprises to enforce 'Quality Gates' that prevent merging if technical debt scores exceed predefined thresholds. It supports a polyglot environment including Python, Ruby, Go, Java, and JavaScript, while offering extensibility through custom Docker images for niche language requirements.
Analyzes the code quality of the source branch vs the target branch and displays only the new issues introduced by the developer.
Accelerate code delivery with automated technical debt management and intelligent static analysis.
Advanced static analysis for C/C++ focused on detecting undefined behavior and safety-critical coding defects.
Verified feedback from the global deployment network.
Post queries, share implementation strategies, and help other users.
Utilizes LLMs to analyze the specific code smell and provides a one-click 'Apply Fix' button within the GitLab IDE.
Allows users to wrap any linter into a Docker image and execute it as part of the CodeClimate-compatible pipeline.
Programmable pipeline logic that can fail builds based on the severity and count of code quality findings.
Aggregates quality data across hundreds of projects to provide executive visibility into technical debt trends.
Native support for the CodeClimate engine architecture, supporting over 20+ language engines out-of-the-box.
Maps JSON findings directly to line numbers in the GitLab Diff view and Web IDE.
Fast-moving teams often sacrifice maintainability for speed, leading to long-term architectural decay.

Merge only when quality is net-positive.
Different teams using different languages (Go, Python, JS) lead to inconsistent code standards across the organization.
Senior developers spend too much time on basic syntax and style corrections during manual code reviews.
