Nghiêm Phương - PeerSpot reviewer
A solution for static code review and Blackhawk testing.
We have automation capabilities with Parasoft Jtest integrated into our CI/CD pipeline. This allows us to provide suggestions for improving code quality within the CI/CD process, which developers find beneficial, similar to using Cisco products. Parasoft Jtest is more than just a tool for scanning code. It offers comprehensive automated testing capabilities. It automatically scans the code on the server and generates reports for developers and project managers. They can then review the findings remotely and collaborate on addressing any issues identified. Parasoft Jtest connects to OpenAI, suggesting how to fix the code. I recommend the solution. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
