Salesforce Code Analyzer (often referred to by developers as the ultimate code review tool for the ecosystem) is an open-source static code analysis plugin designed to help developers write secure, clean, and high-performing code. It shifts code quality “left” by catching errors, security flaws, and performance bottlenecks early in the development lifecycle. Core Engines Under the Hood
Rather than acting as a single scanner, it unifies several industry-leading, best-of-breed analysis engines under one unified experience:
PMD: Scans Apex and Visualforce code for design flaws and formatting issues.
ESLint / ESLint-LWC / ESLint-TypeScript: Validates JavaScript-based files and Lightning Web Components.
RetireJS: Scans external, third-party libraries for known security vulnerabilities.
CPD (Copy-Paste Detector): Flags duplicated blocks of code that need refactoring.
Salesforce Graph Engine: Uses advanced data flow analysis to catch strict Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) and Field-Level Security (FLS) violations.
Flow Scanner: Evaluates Salesforce Flows alongside programmatic code. Key Features 8 AI Code Review Tools Developers Should Know – Kodesage
