What is Code Reviews?

Code Reviews is the new name for Clayton, now fully integrated into the Gearset product suite. Gearset acquired Clayton in September 2024 and has since developed the integration to combine the platforms. The result is a seamless experience where Clayton’s intelligent code analysis and review capabilities are built directly into Gearset, making it easy to maintain and improve code quality in one place.

How does Code Reviews compare with other code scanning solutions?

Other code analyzers such as PMD offer configurable rule sets for scanning Apex classes. But teams can be overwhelmed with the number of violations flagged in their legacy code, and the only real remedy is to switch off those rules. In contrast, Code Reviews helps you bring your codebase in line with more best practices over time. You can choose how aggressively you want to enforce conformity with rules for new and existing code. You can flag false positives to further reduce the noise. And autofixes help you to remediate issues quickly. Unlike other solutions, Code Reviews also analyzes configuration like Flows as well as Apex code.
