Qodana is a static code analysis tool that integrates into JetBrains’ IDEs, allowing issues to be addressed directly within the IDE.

“Since launching the cloud version of Qodana last summer, we kept receiving requests for a self-hosted version. Following successful Beta tests with some of our clients, we’re now launching the first release of Qodana Self-Hosted, allowing you to manage, maintain, and upgrade Qodana entirely on your end,” JetBrains wrote in a blog post. 

Qodana Self-Hosted helps companies ensure that their proprietary or sensitive information stays within the company’s infrastructure, offers them greater control over data control and processing, and can have better performance due to the ability to optimize the solution to the organization’s specific performance needs. 

The self-hosted version currently only supports AWS, but JetBrains plans to add more hosting options in future versions. Pricing will start at $40 per developer per month, but organizations that request a demo by August 31, 2024 will receive a 40% discount off one year of Qodana Self-Hosted. 

Other recent improvements to Qodana include an early access program for the C and C++ linter, the ability to create custom inspections with FlexInspect, support for Unity analysis, and the addition of .NET analysis to the Community version.

Qodana is a tool that offers static code analysis and can be integrated within the CI/CD pipeline. This allows problems in code to be addressed from right within the IDE. 

It currently supports over 60 languages and can be integrated with most CI pipelines, such as JetBrains TeamCity, Space, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and GitLab CI. It also integrates with many of JetBrains’ IDEs, including IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, PhpStorm, PyCharm, Rider and GoLand.

According to a study by Harris Poll and the payment processing company Stripe, developers are spending an average of 42% of their time dealing with technical debt and maintainance issues. By addressing issues before they turn into technical debt, Qodana can save companies money and time. 

The tool was first introduced in 2021 and has been in preview since. Now it is generally available, and a number of new features have been added since the preview period. 

It now includes a vulnerability checker to identify vulnerable packages and make suggestions on how to remediate. There is also an experimental feature called Quick Fixes, which can automatically apply certain fixes. 

Currently, Qodana offers a code coverage feature for Java, Kotlin, PHP, JavaScript, and TypeScript, and more features will be added in the future. This feature will help developers be more thorough in their tests, JetBrains explained. 

“Since its Preview release in 2021, Qodana has garnered a positive response from users and good adoption. Valuable feedback from early adopters has been instrumental in driving significant improvements, and today we’re proud to announce its official launch,” says Kateryna Shlyakhovetska, product and team lead for Qodana. “Qodana is the only code quality platform on the market that uses inspections native to JetBrains IDEs, expanding the smartness of your JetBrains IDE to the CI server and connecting the two.”

Qodana launched back in 2021 and offers users a universal code quality platform that provides integrations and visualizations of inspections and errors. It also allows users to improve their Continuous Integration pipelines with JetBrains IDEs-native inspections as well as make edits directly in their IDEs.

According to JetBrains, taint analysis in Qodana protects projects against malicious inputs once the developer executes it by running a security audit on the program’s attack surface. The company stated that this process has been automated for PHP in Qodana starting from version 2023.1.

“Taint analysis helps eliminate exploitable attack surfaces, so it’s an effective method to reduce risk to the software,” said Kateryna Shlyakhovetska, product and team Lead for Qodana. “We at JetBrains are always committed to improving our products and delivering the best solutions possible — adding taint analysis functionality to Qodana reflects our desire to cover the rising needs of our customers to improve their security posture.”

In addition, taint analysis in Qodana includes an inspection that scans the code and highlights the taint and potential vulnerability. It also brings users the ability to open the problem in PhpStorm and take care of it quickly as well as offers a dataflow graph visualizing the taint flow.

JetBrains said that it has also recently unveiled the public preview of Qodana Cloud which collects data from Qodana linters in one place and lets developers include static analysis in their CI tools with enhanced speed.

According to the company, Qodana Cloud collects data from Qodana linters and gathers them in a single place, which allows developers to dive deeper into particular issues. 

JetBrains explained that having to switch between linters can slow down the code review process, so Qodana Cloud will eliminate some of that friction.

Teams can use the new solution to discover trends and patterns in code across all projects, which will give them a more complete understanding of how their projects and teams are performing.

The platform offers the ability to create separate organizations, teams, and projects, and assign a single team to several projects. 

Each project also displays the history of previous checks, which allows you to compare quality checks across commits. 

Similar to Qodana, users can open issues right from the IDE, enabling them to fix server-side errors from the editor, the company explained. 

Future releases will add role-based access control to enable teams to create permissions based on what a user needs to complete their job. They are also working to add additional security controls and enable quick fixes for certain issue types.
