**Qodana**, created by developer tools company [JetBrains](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JetBrains "JetBrains"), is a [code quality platform](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_quality "Software quality") with a [static analysis engine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_program_analysis "Static program analysis") that integrates into [CI/CD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CI/CD "CI/CD") pipelines.[\[2\]](#cite_note-lenko-2) It is used by software development teams to improve code quality by assisting them with the [code review](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_review "Code review") process, mitigating some human error, enforcing quality guidelines, and building quality gates, among other features.[\[3\]](#cite_note-corral-3)

## History and product development

\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Qodana&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: History and product development")\]

Qodana preview was released in 2021, and the product was officially launched to the public in 2023, with support for over 60 [programming languages](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language "Programming language") and frameworks, most [CI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration "Continuous integration") pipelines, and many [JetBrains IDEs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JetBrains#IDEs "JetBrains").[\[3\]](#cite_note-corral-3)

JetBrains made a [Visual Studio](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Studio "Visual Studio") Code extension available in late 2023.[\[4\]](#cite_note-4)[\[5\]](#cite_note-5) In 2024, hardcoded password detection was implemented as well as self-hosting.[\[6\]](#cite_note-6)

In 2025, integration with the AI-enabled [Cursor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursor_\(code_editor\) "Cursor (code editor)") was introduced, as well as a public [API](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API "API"), native mode configuration, an insights dashboard, [single sign-on](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_sign-on "Single sign-on") for enterprise clients, SOC 2 compliance and [OWASP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OWASP "OWASP") security inspections.[\[7\]](#cite_note-7)[\[8\]](#cite_note-8)[\[9\]](#cite_note-9)

While developers can use the tool to support code reviews, spot bugs, and build quality gateways, it was also designed for QA engineers, security managers, development team leads, and legal teams.[\[3\]](#cite_note-corral-3) For these teams, it is a code quality monitoring tool to identify and suggest fixes for bugs, security vulnerabilities, duplications, licence audits and imperfections.

The static code analysis tool integrates with CI/CD pipelines, allowing developers to address code problems within the IDE.[\[2\]](#cite_note-lenko-2) Qodana is the sole code quality platform that leverages inspections directly integrated into JetBrains IDEs.[\[3\]](#cite_note-corral-3)
