How Does Flosum-CodeScan Work

Case 1: Create a new branch and add all metadata components

In this use case we will create a new branch in Flosum and add all new metadata components and do a static code analysis on a CodeScan server.

1. Go to Flosum, Create a new branch and attach it to existing repository and click on Save.
2. Now go to Flosum-CodeScan Package, click on component type and select all the component types and associate branch and click Save.
3. Navigate to your instance's URL, for example, https://app.codescan.io/ for US region, https://app-eu.codescan.io/ for EU region or https://app-aus.codescan.io/ for AUS region.

4. Login to your CodeScan account, and you will notice that the branch is populated in the CodeScan Server with your project.
5. Select the branch and click on Add Analysis Project button and attach it as a webhook.
6. Now you deploy metadata components like Apex Class, triggers to your branch and CodeScan will trigger static code analysis on the fly.

Case 2: For an existing branch create a new project

In this use case we will authorize existing branch in Flosum and add all new metadata components and do a static code analysis on a CodeScan server.

Note:

This case is very similar to case 1, only step 1 is added as an extra functionality.

1. Go to Flosum-CodeScan Package and click on Create project from a branch, select the branch and click on Create.
2. Click on component type and select all the component types and associate branch and click save.
3. Navigate to your instance's URL, for example, https://app.codescan.io/ for US region, https://app-eu.codescan.io/ for EU region or https://app-aus.codescan.io/ for AUS region.

4. Login to your CodeScan account, and you will notice that the branch is populated in the CodeScan Server.
5. Click on the branch and attach analysis as webhook.

6. Now you can deploy metadata components like Apex Class, Triggers to your branch and CodeScan will trigger static code analysis on the fly.

Note:

Step 4, 5, and 6 have similar functionality as Case 1.
