Code Climate

homepage|integration - no longer viewable on Github

features

• test coverage report (via lcov data from Travis)
• security analysis (NSP)
• code style analysis
• grade-based results

cons

• some features only work on "main" branch
• "main" branch not configurable for GitHub repos
• no good overview... view
• security analysis depends on shrinkwrap file, should probably add as commit hook.

  • I think this is a general lcov limitation
