Quality settings¶

Here you can define quality settings for your repository, giving you control over the build status and success/fail of commits and pull requests. This feature also enables you to turn off metrics like duplication or complexity.

To access the quality settings, open your repository Settings, tab Quality Settings. On this page there are three sections where you can set specific values at the commit, pull request, and repository levels. Click Customize to edit the settings on each section.

Quality settings

The following sections explain the settings in detail.

Commits¶

These settings configure quality thresholds for commits, as displayed on the Commits page.

Quality settings for commits

New issues are over: Commits are marked not up to standards if the number of issues introduced is bigger than the set value. The default value is 0.
Complexity is over: Commits are marked not up to standards if the introduced complexity is bigger than the set value. By default, this setting is off.
Duplication is over: Commits are marked not up to standards if the number of clones introduced is bigger than the set value. By default, this setting is off.
Coverage variation is under: Commits are marked not up to standards if the coverage introduced is smaller than the set value. By default, this setting is off.

Pull Requests¶

These settings configure quality thresholds for pull requests, as displayed on the Pull Requests page.

Quality settings for pull requests

New issues are over: Pull requests are marked not up to standards if the number of issues introduced is bigger than the set value. The default value is 0.
Complexity is over: Pull requests are marked not up to standards if the introduced complexity is bigger than the set value. By default, this setting is off.
Duplication is over: Pull requests are marked not up to standards if the number of clones introduced is bigger than the set value. By default, this setting is off.
Coverage variation is under: Pull requests are marked not up to standards if the coverage introduced is smaller than the set value. This value refers to the variation of coverage on your pull request. For example, if your repository has 90% coverage and you want to make sure that this value doesn't decrease, set the value to 0%. By default, this setting is off.
