Static code analysis is the technique of approximating the runtime behavior of a program. In other words, it is the process of predicting the output of a program without actually executing it. That’s what DeepSource does, statically analyzing your project and reporting to you the potential code quality issues which can be solved within no time.
This is what we will be doing here in this blog. We will try to integrate DeepSource over a forked repo, specifically on a Python project, and run analysis over it. We will further fix some of the issues with the auto-fix tool and let transformers fix some of the styling issues for our project.
