JetBrains offers a service called Qodana, a code quality analysis tool designed to work with any CI/CD system (as it is a subscription-based service). However, if you wish to use it directly within an IDE, initially it is only compatible with JetBrains IDEs.
Naturally, users have requested for JetBrains to integrate Qodana with other IDEs. Previously, JetBrains expanded Qodana’s services to Visual Studio Code as a plugin, and now they have further extended it to directly compete with Visual Studio.
To use Qodana on Visual Studio, it is essential to go through Resharper, a popular JetBrains extension for Visual Studio. Qodana will be available as a panel within Resharper, requiring users to log in to their Qodana account before initiating code analysis.
TLDR: JetBrains provides Qodana, a code quality analysis tool compatible with various CI/CD systems and JetBrains IDEs, with recent expansions to Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio. To use Qodana in Visual Studio, it must be accessed through Resharper and a Qodana account login is required for code analysis.
