Scrutinizer CI
What Scrutinizer CI is
Scrutinizer CI is a continuous inspection platform for software quality management, continuous integration, code analysis, and code intelligence. It builds and deploys application code with configurable build nodes, workflows, and deployment requirements. Automatic setup infers dependency installation, database migration, and test commands from project structure, and teams can override those commands. Analysis checks for security issues, bugs, and style issues, with thousands of built-in checks. Quality tools include code coverage, project trends, weekly progress reports, and custom failure conditions such as minimum coverage or code rating. The CI environment supports custom Docker images and layer caching. Code Intelligence enables code browsing and pull-request reviews with navigation to methods, return types, and variable flow without a local checkout. Supported languages include Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Ruby, Go, Groovy, Scala/SBT, Node.js, and TypeScript. The service has a free plan and a 14-day trial without a credit card; open-source repositories are free. Basic costs €49 a month, billed monthly in advance.
