Gearset is ISO 27001 certified and offers you enterprise-grade security. Your Salesforce data and metadata is encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted on the same AWS data centers trusted by Salesforce, with 24/7 intrusion detection.
Code Reviews is a comprehensive Salesforce code analyzer that scans over 300 metadata types across your Salesforce environment. This includes Apex classes, triggers, and test classes, as well as Flow functionality, Visualforce pages, Lightning Components (both Aura and LWC), permission sets, profiles, and field-level security settings. Unlike other tools that focus only on Apex, Gearset’s Salesforce code review tool analyzes both your source code and Salesforce configuration to identify potential issues across your entire project.
Integrating your code reviews tool with your existing DevOps tools is essential for getting the best results. You can add Code Reviews to your existing CI/CD workflow easily.. Once connected to your version control system, Code Reviews automatically scans every pull request and provides detailed information on any issues found. You can configure it to block merges if security issues or quality standards violations are detected, ensuring only compliant code enters your main branch.
Code Reviews integrates seamlessly with Gearset Pipelines, allowing you to automatically scan every pull request and enforce quality gates before deployment. Code Reviews also integrates with other CI/CD platforms, making it easy for Salesforce developers to enforce gates without disrupting their development process.
Yes! Code Reviews offers a code extension for Visual Studio Code (VS Code) that brings automated analysis directly into your editor. Developers can scan files as they write, getting immediate feedback on potential issues, syntax problems, and security standards violations without leaving their IDE. The extension helps you verify code quality in real-time and provides quick fixes for common patterns and anti-patterns, improving efficiency throughout your workflow.
Traditional Apex scanners like PMD focus primarily on Apex syntax and basic patterns, but they miss critical issues in Flows, customizations, permission sets, and other Salesforce metadata. Code Reviews analyzes your entire Salesforce configuration with a comprehensive ruleset that gives you complete insights into your code health — not just Apex, but Salesforce-specific functionality and context. This means fewer false positives, more accurate detection of security issues and performance bottlenecks, and better alignment with Salesforce’s Well-Architected principles and security standards.
Gearset lets you select protection mode to separate new issues from existing technical debt. This reduces noise in your scan results, so developers can quickly spot real risks rather than sifting through false alarms. Developers can also quickly dismiss irrelevant findings with a comment.
Teams can enforce quality standards on new code without being overwhelmed by legacy issues, allowing you to gradually improve your codebase while maintaining velocity. This approach is especially valuable for orgs with years of accumulated technical debt or teams that have experienced turnover and inherited legacy customizations they don’t fully understand.
Gearset’s Code Reviews applies the same deterministic checks to all code, whether written by humans or AI. Unlike AI-based review solutions that are probabilistic and can produce different results each time, Code Reviews is deterministic, meaning it consistently verifies code against predefined rules for the same quality standards and security standards every time.
AI reviewing AI-generated code compounds accuracy risks; if AI generation has 90% accuracy and AI review also has 90% accuracy, you’re multiplying the risk. Code Reviews provides deterministic validation that doesn’t allow “good enough” results — your code either meets the standard or it doesn’t.
AI models may also be trained on outdated data that doesn’t reflect the latest Salesforce releases and security best practices. Code Reviews stays current with every Salesforce release, from Apex updates to Agentforce, and understands your org’s metadata, Lightning Components, source code, and configuration context.
This ensures AI-generated code meets your organization’s compliance requirements and doesn’t introduce security issues, performance bottlenecks, or technical debt into your system. Code Reviews prevents AI from marking its own homework and provides the guardrails necessary to ship AI-assisted changes with confidence.
Code Reviews integrates seamlessly with Gearset Pipelines, allowing you to automatically scan every pull request and enforce quality gates before deployment. You can configure Code Reviews to execute scans at any stage, blocking merges if violations are detected. The tool provides a summary of findings with severity levels, recommended fixes, and documentation links in-app, making it easy for developers to address issues quickly without leaving their workflow.
Code Reviews runs as part of your pipeline’s automated checks alongside validation, Apex code coverage, and other testing types, creating layered defense-in-depth quality gates that catch potential issues before they slow down release. You can also apply auto-fixes directly from the scan results, which are deployed back to your sandbox and applied to the pull request — saving time and keeping your development process moving.
For teams using CI/CD platforms outside of Gearset, Code Reviews also integrates with version control providers like GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps, allowing you to enforce the same quality standards across your entire system regardless of your setup.
Customization of rulesets is an important feature of code analysis tools, allowing organizations to enforce their own coding standards. Code Reviews lets you define organization-wide rulesets based on predefined rules or custom policies, ensuring every team and contributor follows the same guidelines, regardless of their location or experience level. Detailed reports and dashboards provide visibility into compliance across teams, helping leaders identify potential issues, coach teams, and maintain governance at scale.
Code Reviews provides trend reports and dashboards that give you essential high-level views of code health, tracking quality improvements over time. You can see metrics like the number of errors caught, security issues resolved, and technical debt reduced across projects and teams. These insights help you quantify the time and cost savings from automated code reviews, which significantly reduce the expense of fixing bugs and vulnerabilities in Salesforce applications. The tool generates summary reports showing the impact of your code review process on deployment success rates, rework reduction, and time saved through automation. This detailed information helps you demonstrate ROI and make data-driven decisions about your development process.
Gearset is ISO 27001 certified and encrypts all Salesforce data and metadata in transit and at rest. Your source code and configuration are hosted on the same AWS data centers trusted by Salesforce, with 24/7 intrusion detection and monitoring. Code Reviews analyzes your metadata without storing sensitive data unnecessarily, and you maintain full control over access permissions. For detailed information on our security practices and compliance certifications, see our security documentation.
