Qodo this week extended its platform for managing code quality and governance to enable an artificial intelligence (AI) agent to review code spanning multiple repositories. Additionally, version 2.8 of the Qodo platform adds a custom rules miner that discovers coding patterns from existing codebase behavior and pull request (PR) history that are then used to create structured, enforceable rules. Finally, Qodo has added an ability to discover AI skills that contain code review instructions, coding standards, and engineering best practices across multiple repositories. The platform surfaces those skills in a portal that enables DevOps teams to centrally manage and assess their impact on software engineering workflows. Qodo CEO Itamar Friedman said these capabilities extend an agentic AI platform for governing code that is based on graph technology that tracks the relationships that exist between code. Whenever a pull request (PR) modifies a shared dependency, the agent reads the rep...

The alliance between HeroDevs and the Commonhaus Foundation, in effect, buys enterprise IT teams, especially if they operate in highly regulated industries, the ti...
