Abstract

A device may receive, from a user device, a request for one or more code quality assessments of a program. The device may obtain authorization to access one or more environments associated with the program. The device may obtain one or more tokens that are associated with the one or more environments. The device may obtain a set of test classes for the program. The device may determine one or more code quality assessment scores by performing, for the program, a code quality assessment of the one or more code quality assessments. The device may perform the code quality assessment by accessing the one or more environments using the one or more tokens, executing the set of test classes in each environment, and determining the one or more code quality assessment scores. The device may provide the one or more code quality assessment scores to the user device.
