Comparing 9 Code Quality Tools

As the adage goes, in software development, your code speaks for you, and that's why it is essential to write concise yet readable and performant code (there are certainly the odd exceptions to this rule, but in general, it's always better to be safe than sorry). It's always a good idea to have good code quality tools in your developer toolbox, helping you manage technical debt by writing clean and maintainable source code. In this article, we will try to list out a few interesting options you should consider. While this list is based on my subjective opinions, I hope you find it useful!
