A software engineer working on an open-source flight-control simulator sets up a Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline. This pipeline automatically runs a static analysis tool (a linter) on all submitted code to ensure it meets high standards of readability and maintainability.
State two different checks that this automated tool can perform to specifically identify code that is poorly structured, unreadable, or difficult to maintain.
51 exam-style questions on Edexcel GCSE Computer Science Develop code, covering Decomposition and abstraction to solve problems, Read, write, analyse and refine programs, Converting algorithms into programs, Techniques for readable, maintainable code, Identifying and correcting program errors, and Evaluating program fitness and efficiency. Each one has a worked solution and a mark scheme showing where the marks go.
