What is Embold?

Embold is a comprehensive static code analysis tool that assists development teams in proactively managing software quality and technical debt. It integrates into existing DevOps workflows, providing automated scans for repositories, pull requests, and commits. By identifying potential issues before they escalate, Embold aims to reduce the cost and effort associated with fixing bugs later in the development cycle.

The platform performs multi-dimensional scans, detecting design anti-patterns, security vulnerabilities, code issues, metric violations, and code duplication across various languages. It offers features like Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for assessing business and engineering impact, refactoring support with suggestions for improving maintainability, and anti-pattern visualization. Embold emphasizes the importance of addressing structural problems and design anti-patterns, which contribute significantly to technical debt, providing insights to improve code stability and performance.
