Pros and Cons of DeepSource: My Personal Review

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

DeepSource's ease of use and comprehensive code analysis impressed me. I also liked how simple the setup process was, as well as the comprehensive dashboard, which allows me to easily track the progress of my codebase. Furthermore, the ability to customize the rules for code analysis and track code quality trends over time was a huge plus. Overall, DeepSource has been an excellent tool for assisting us in quickly identifying and resolving potential coding issues.

Cons:

The least appealing aspect of DeepSource is that the free plan does not include any automated analysis. You would have to manually review all of the pull requests and issues.

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: It very easy to use, and useful for improving code quality and save time.

Pros:

The feature of automatic linkage with the GitHub repositories is very useful and time saving, I also like that the linkage remains. Code's analysis is very complete and specific, pointing to the exact line with the issue. And It also can resolve them automatically with is also time saving and I learn from them.

Cons:

I would like that the issues would be reflected in GitHub, so I can resolved manually if I like.

DeepSource Review

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: Its robust code analysis capabilities significantly contributed to improving code quality and maintainability. The seamless integration with my development workflow made it easy to adopt and incorporate into my projects. While there were occasional false positives, the benefits of catching potential issues early on outweighed this minor inconvenience. DeepSource proved to be a valuable tool in my code review and quality assurance process.

Pros:

One of the things I liked most about DeepSource was its powerful code analysis capabilities. It provided comprehensive and detailed feedback on potential code issues, including code smells, security vulnerabilities, and best practice violations. The ability to catch these issues early on and improve code quality was highly valuable. Additionally, DeepSource's seamless integration with popular code repositories made it easy to incorporate into my development workflow.

Cons:

While DeepSource had many aspects, one thing I liked least was the occasional false positives generated by the code analysis. There were instances where it flagged certain code segments as problematic when, in reality, they were not. This required additional time and effort to manually review and verify the reported issues. Although DeepSource continuously improved its analysis engine, reducing false positives further would enhance the overall experience.

The strength of DeepSource its capacity to offer thorough feedback on the security and code quality.

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall, DeepSource is a great solution for teams looking to increase the security and quality of their code. It is simple to use, effortlessly incorporates with current procedures, and offers thorough feedback on code errors. Teams that wish to produce better code and steer clear of future costly blunders should give it some serious thought.

Pros:

The tool's smooth integration with well-known code repositories like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket makes it simple to integrate it into current processes. It can also be integrated with well-known code editors like PyCharm, IntelliJ IDEA, and VS Code. Moreover, DeepSource provides customization possibilities so that teams can adapt the tool to their own requirements. For instance, they can set the severity levels of various concerns or configure the programme to disregard particular issues.

Cons:

One potential drawback is that it could generate a lot of input, which some engineers might find overwhelming. It can take a lot of time and effort to prioritise problems after going through all the input.The tool's potential for producing false positives or failing to detect all problems is another potential downside.

DeepSource analyzes, improves code quality and keeps our codebase clean

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Most of the time, developers miss out on formatting their code in the local development environment, and having DeepSource integrated removes the headache of manually going through the code and seeing if there are any accidental linting or formatting errors that developers might've left in their code. So it just does the job automatically for us.

Pros:

We have been using DeepSource for six months now. I can see the difference in the code style and the code quality of the files that have gone through DeepSource and not gone through DeepSource. There's a clear difference in the way indentation happens or the number of whitespaces that are left, or the number of columns that are present in the code. If you compare, if you take the difference between these two files there will definitely appear a difference between the files that have been processed through DeepSource and the files that have not been processed.

Cons:

We would like to see the support added for multiple files for the Autofix feature.

Automated Analysis of KeepTrack.Space Code

5.0 3 years ago

Pros:

As my project grows there will always be new mistakes made and in some cases new vulnerabilities found on code that used to be "safe". Having a tool automatically find these is invaluable. I use this as a github integration on an open source project.

Cons:

As a 100% client-side product, sometimes the severity of the vulnerabilities can be misleading. It is still bad code either way, so not a big deal.

Helpful for automated code checking

5.0 3 years ago

Pros:

It automatically scans code on each commit, and the autofix feature allows you to make quick fixes easily.

Cons:

Getting DeepSource to ignore certain lines of code permanently is a little annoying. Also, the fact that DeepSource needs a .deepsource.toml file makes it a little difficult to set up.

DeepSource Response

Appreciate the review, Ramiro. Support for monorepo is in near roadmap (Around end of Q2, 2020). JavaScript analyzer will land in beta in a month (June 2020).
