"Much more than superficial insights"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Checkstyle?

A good Checkstyle can teach how to code effectively - with insights such as cyclomatic complexity (how easy the code is to reason about), number of dependencies, method length and so forth.

When such policies are codified code reviews can focus on higher concerns.

With checkstyle the same tool can be run locally or in CI/CD environments, so feedback is faster and more frequent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Checkstyle?

Many developers think that Checkstyle can provide only superficial insights and the first impression experience (website, etc) of this tool doesn't go to lengths to correct such a perception. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
