JetBrains’ code quality platform Qodana reaches general availability

JetBrains is trying to make it easier for developers to produce quality code with the release of its new platform, Qodana.

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.”

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are dec...

October 2025: AI updates from the past month

OpenAI announces agentic security researcher that can find and fix vulnerabilities OpenAI has released a private beta for a new AI agent called Aardvark that acts as a security researcher, finding vulnerabilities and applying fixes, at scale. “Software security is one of the most critical—and challenging—frontiers in technology. Each year, tens of thousands of new vulnerabilities are discovered across enterprise and open-source codebases. Defenders face the daunting tasks of finding and patching vulnerabilities before their adversaries do. At OpenAI, we are working to tip that balance in favor of defenders,” OpenAI wrote in a blog post . The agent continuously analyzes source code repositories to identify vulnerabilities, assess their exploitability, prioritize severity, and propose patches. Instead of using traditional analysis techniques like fuzzing of software composition analysis, Aardvark uses LLM-powered reasoning and tool-use. Cursor 2.0 enables eight agents to work in pa...
