Rename or merge[edit]

As the article currently stands, it says almost nothing about Automated code review. Instead it's really a List of tools for automated code review but based on the definition at the top of the article, it's really a List of tools for static code analysis. We should either rename it to List of tools for automated code review or maybe better yet just merge and redirect it to List of tools for static code analysis unless we somehow have a different definition. Currently both pages seem to use the same definition. AliveFreeHappy (talk) 16:58, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(the above is done/completed imo) Moved all tool descriptions pointing to a Wikipedia article to [[List of tools for static code analysis, other tools that just carried pointers to external websites were rescued to this talk page for now. Ptrb (talk) 19:26, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are papers in academia describing automated code reviews and tools for this purpose. An option to consider is to research some of the literature to see if we can build a synopsis of the state of research in this area. One such reference can be found at this link. However, the topic of automated code review is tied closely to static analysis, so therefore it may warrant merging, but also to keep a description of automated code review in the merged article.

(copied the above to the below "Part 2" section. It is the only comment in this whole section, that has not yet been followed up on, and it seems to make sense.

Another option to consider is to move the list of static analysis tools from the Automated code review page to List of tools for static code analysis and restrict the Automated code review article page to descriptions of automated code review processes.

There is also another article titled Code reviewing software that overlaps with the content on this page. Jabraham mw (talk) 16:57, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(the above is done/completed imo) Just checked this (again), the Code reviewing software article is currently pointing to this Automated code review article. Ptrb (talk) 19:28, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have been browsing/reading back-and-forth, between these Automated code review, Static code analysis and Program analysis (computer science) articles. They have all similar but different scope, I've decided not to put merge-tags on any of these. Ptrb (talk) 20:37, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The merge-tags pointing to/from Automated code review and List of tools for static code analysis, do not seem necessary anymore, I will remove them now. If any merge-tags should be needed, then please see my comment just before this. Ptrb (talk) 20:37, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rename or merge summary[edit]

I have done quite some merging on the following articles, the whole operation is not yet complete. Here's a summary of what I did:

Are there any further merge-related changes planned? Ipsign (talk) 10:21, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have currently no plans to do further merge here. I will likely come back to this and the List of tools for static code analysis pages, to see if tools "rescued" below, already have articles that may be added to List of tools for static code analysis. Some other things that I am currently looking-at/working-on, can be found here User_talk:Ptrb#Things_to_work_on. Ptrb (talk) 08:05, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for clarifying it; maybe then it's a good idea to remove {mergeto}/{mergefrom} templates from relevant pages? I don't have opinion on merge, but I might want to add a thing or two, and to do it, it is necessary to know if the merge is planned. Ipsign (talk) 14:27, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, see my comments here Talk:Automated_code_review#Rename_or_merge_-_Part_2. It is all based on my personal judgement, I cant guarantee that other contributers have the same oppinion. Maybe tomorrow someone puts the {mergeto}/{mergefrom} templates back again. Good luck. Ptrb (talk) 21:07, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Multi-language[edit]

JavaScript[edit]

  • Javascript Lint is an analyzer that can check JavaScript syntax and also examine the coding techniques used in the script and warn against questionable practices. Online version is also available.

PHP[edit]

Python[edit]

  • PEP8 - the original code analyzer from Python.
  • Pylint - analyzes Python source code looking for bugs and signs of poor quality.
  • PyChecker - is a tool for finding bugs in Python source code.

Visual Basic[edit]

Perl[edit]

  • Perl::Critic - Helps programmers ensure their perl code complies with common programming conventions. The project grew out of a desire to have an automated tool to help enforce the coding standards recommended by the Perl Best Practices book by Damian Conway. It has since been expanded to find violations of policies not found in the book. Perl::Critic is designed to allow users to add their own policies and/or to choose a subset of the provided policies. The Perl::Critic module was developed using the PPI tool to parse, analyze and manipulate Perl code.
  • B::Lint

Merge into code review[edit]

I see merge has been brought up before, but it really feels like these couple of paragraphs would fit smoothly into Code review - thoughts? CodeCurmudgeon (talk) 18:31, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
