FAQ

Features

ARCAD CodeChecker is an automated code quality analysis tool for IBM i applications. It ensures compliance with coding standards and identifies vulnerabilities, guaranteeing high-quality, reliable, and secure code.

ARCAD CodeChecker offers over 100 predefined rules, integration with Jenkins for inclusion in a CI/CD pipeline, and detection of security vulnerabilities such as SQL injections.

Yes, ARCAD CodeChecker automatically detects security vulnerabilities, including SQL injections, vulnerable APIs, and poor coding practices, ensuring optimal security. It is positioned as a SAST (Static Analysis Security Tool) specifically dedicated to native IBM i code.

Integration and Compatibility

ARCAD CodeChecker integrates with tools such as Rational Developer for i (RDi), VS Code, Jenkins for continuous integration, and SonarQube for quality metrics tracking. It is also compatible with native development tools (SEU).

Yes, ARCAD CodeChecker integrates with DevOps processes, enabling continuous code quality checks at every stage of the development lifecycle.

No, ARCAD CodeChecker is specifically designed for IBM i environments, including RPG, COBOL, CL, and their SQL variants.

Key Differentiators

ARCAD CodeChecker stands out for:

  • Its compatibility with all versions of RPG (RPG II, III, IV, ILE, FreeForm) and COBOL.
  • Its integration with IBM i IDEs (5250, RDi, VS Code).
  • Its targeted analysis of code deltas.

Its « shift left » approach enhances efficiency by detecting and correcting anomalies early in the development cycle.

Thanks to its delta code analysis, ARCAD CodeChecker processes only recent changes, optimizing performance. This approach is essential for managing the large code volumes typically found on IBM i.

The integration of ARCAD CodeChecker with 5250, RDi, and VS Code enables developers to detect and fix anomalies early, directly within their working environment (known as « coach no cop »), boosting their productivity and efficiency.

Installation and Deployment

ARCAD CodeChecker is easy to install, with guided configuration. The support team provides detailed instructions to ensure rapid set-up.

Yes, ARCAD CodeChecker requires a functional IBM i environment and access to the source code for analysis. Rational Developer for i or VS Code are recommended for better integration.

Yes, a trial version of ARCAD CodeChecker is available. You can use it to evaluate its features and see how it enhances your code quality.

Usage and Support

ARCAD CodeChecker identifies and resolves coding errors in the early stages of development, reducing costs associated with maintenance and technical debt.

It is recommended to use ARCAD CodeChecker after each code modification to ensure continuous quality and prevent the accumulation of errors.

Technical support is available through the ARCAD Software team, including installation assistance, user guides, and personalized help to optimize your use of the tool.
