====== Code Quality WG ======

The Code Quality WG is focused on ways to provide incremental improvements to Dronecode project code quality and testing.


__Tools__

  * Coverity - https://scan.coverity.com/projects/px4-firmware
  * clang-tidy
  * astyle - consistent code formatting improves readability and reduces potential merge conflicts for downstream adopters
  * Docker - consistent, repeatable build environment


__Build System__
  * travis-ci (http://travis-ci.org/PX4/Firmware)
     * responsible for building and deploying production binaries for QGroundControl
  * semaphoreci (https://semaphoreci.com/px4/firmware/)
  * circleci (https://circleci.com/gh/PX4/Firmware)
  * jenkins (http://sitl01.dronetest.io/)
     * runs a set of multicopter and VTOL mission tests 

__Testing__

  * mission tests
  * unit tests
  * SITL (Software in the loop)
  * HIL (Hardware in the loop)

__Todo__

  * significantly expand automated mission tests
  * run mission tests under address sanitizer
  * code coverage
  * hardware tests
  * perf tracking
  * Automated testing (static analysis, etc)
  * Running with address sanitier and thread sanitizer enabled
  * Clang tidy expand usage (modernize c++)
  * Identifying code in desperate need of refactoring (commander)
  * Using safe C++ types
     * A time in ms should be a time_ms type vs an int, safe addition, multiplication can then be used
     * Convert Orb and param usage to C++ APIs for type safety
  * Commander re-write
  * Better quantified code coverage tests
  * Make it easier for people to contribute and maintain code quality
  * Unify NuttX and DriverFramework drivers
    * Create design pattern for driver based on cross platform requirements
