Finding code inconsistencies using Amazon CodeGuru Reviewer

Here we are introducing the inconsistency detector for Java in Amazon CodeGuru Reviewer. CodeGuru Reviewer automatically analyzes pull requests (created in supported repositories such as AWS CodeCommit, GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, and Bitbucket) and generates recommendations for improving code quality.

Therefore, the inconsistency principle-based detectors are much more diversified and spread out to a wide range of code problems. Our approach aims to automatically detect inconsistent code pieces that are abnormal and deviant from common code patterns in the same package—assuming that the common behaviors are correct.

Apart from log levels, the inconsistency detector also identifies potentially missing log statements in your code, and it ensures that the log messages are consistent across the entire codebase.
