September Product Update 🚀

Hi there 👋,

Here are a few updates from September that we’ve been working on. We also have a major announcement, so keep on reading!

Decimal points in Coverage across the entire product

We now display the Coverage variation metric with a precision of two decimal points across our entire Codacy Quality product!

The increased precision of the Coverage metric reflects the code coverage changes better by reducing issues with rounding errors. It also allows you to set more granular quality gates.

This change was an evolution that happened across four different stages:

• 1st phase – Files have coverage decimals information;
• 2nd phase – Commits and Pull Requests have coverage decimals information;
• 3rd phase – You can define quality gates with a coverage variation threshold using the two decimal points precision;
• 4th phase – The repository dashboard shows more granular coverage information using two decimals points. This also includes seeing this info in the list of repositories for your organization.

Easily toggle code patterns

While configuring a coding standard, you can now toggle all code patterns currently visible on the list using the new checkbox on the header.

This allows you to conveniently toggle code patterns in bulk. For example, you can now choose to enable all security code patterns at once.

Files tab displays only files with variations

Now, the Files tab on Pull Request and Commit pages displays only files with a variation of their code quality metrics. This makes it more convenient for you to analyze your changes’ impact on the code quality of the files.

Of course, you can still list all files the Pull Request updated, even if their code quality metrics didn’t change. To do this, you just need to toggle the new option Show files without code quality changes.
