Seamless integration with DevOps toolchain
Following an extensive search and testing period of various solutions, the company concluded that only Checkmarx’s unique and extensive coverage of programming languages met its requirements. The company based its decision on the strength of Checkmarx’s features, such as the incremental scan, the seamless integration with DevOps toolchain, and the flexibility and accuracy delivered through customisable code analysis queries.
