Right now we are maintaining some old project written in VB6 we are planning to implement continuous integration server for it. We would like to implement some code analysis as well to track that maintanability at least not getting worse. Basically there is only one requirement - the tool should be command line so we can call it from continuous integration server and it should work with VB6 projects. I will really appreciate any recommendations regards tools to try.
Thank you, Maksym
Source code analysis tools, also known as Static Application Security Testing (SAST) Tools, can help analyze source code or compiled versions of code to help find security flaws. SAST tools can be added into your IDE. Such tools can help you detect issues during software development.
SonarQube (formerly Sonar) is an open-source platform developed by SonarSource for continuous inspection of code quality to perform automatic reviews with static analysis of code to detect bugs, code smells on 29 programming languages.
You could look at SourceMonitor as this says that it can produce metrics for VB6, and can be made to work from the command line.
I've only used it for C++ myself.
Have you looked at the recommendations in this question about tools for analysing VB6 source code?
I don't know whether any of these tools can be run from the command-line.
