# Code Quality

### What is Code Quality?

Code quality is calculated by running a set of checks on the source code of each component.

This includes direct and transitive dependencies.

List of Code Quality Checks

* Binary Artifacts: Has the project generated executable (binary) artifacts in the source repository?
* CII Best Practices: Does the project have a CII Best Practices badge?
* Fuzzing: Does the project use fuzzing in OSS-Fuzz?
* Pinned Dependencies: Has the project declared and pinned its dependencies?
* CI Tests: Does the project run tests before pull requests are merged?
* Code Review: Does the project require a code review before pull/merge requests are assimilated?
* Maintained: Is the project actively maintained?

* Count of components that have code quality issues is displayed towards left, along with the category of the components (open-source, private, third-party, unknown).
* The code quality issue count is displayed towards the right, grouped by severity (critical, high, medium, low).
* Each tile is clickable which will list down the components applicable to that filter in a table view. The details will list the component name, version and a capsule for code quality checks.
* By clicking the code quality checks capsule, next level details will be shown as below.
* By clicking on any row, the sidesheet shows up as shown below.
