Overview
Quality Gates allow you to control software quality by configuring rules to block substandard code from deployment. You have control over what is merged into the default branch and deployed to production, and can ensure that the code running in production adheres to high quality standards, reducing incidents and minimizing unwanted behaviors.
Use Quality Gates to:
- Create rules that block workflows using data in Datadog, ensuring that only code that meets your standards end up in production.
- Give your organization the ability to decide what code makes it to production, enhancing your deployment discipline and mitigating potential issues in live environments.
- Continually improve code quality and system performance with precise enforcement and customizable rules.
You can configure Quality Gates rules for the following categories:
- Test Optimization
- New flaky tests
- Performance regressions
- Code coverage
- Pipeline Visibility
- Custom measures
- Static Analysis
- Code vulnerability violations
- Code quality violations
- Software Composition Analysis
- Vulnerabilities
- Detected licenses
By integrating Quality Gates into your CI/CD pipelines, you can create a robust framework for maintaining and improving software quality that aligns with your organization’s operational goals and business objectives.
Setup
Quality Gates offers the following rule types:
You can create rules to block code from being merged that introduces new flaky tests.
You can create rules to block code from being merged that introduces issues that wouldn’t normally fail your CI/CD pipelines, but end up being deployed to production.
You can create rules to block code from being merged that introduces code quality and code vulnerability violations.
You can create rules to block code from being merged that introduces software vulnerabilities and forbidden licenses.
To create a Quality Gate rule, see the Setup documentation.
