Alternatively, if you want to view AI-powered findings for the most recently changed files, see AUTOTITLE.
Exploring the backlog for your repository
The "{% data variables.code-quality.all_findings %}" dashboard shows all the results found by {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} analysis on the default branch of your repository. This view helps you visualize the full backlog of quality results and prioritize work to fix specific types of problems.
The overview, at the top of the page, summarizes the maintainability and reliability of the codebase.
Underneath the overview, the full list of results is shown with a header with filters that you can use to focus on a specific set of findings. The results are:
- Grouped by the rule that detected each finding
- Within each rule, ordered by file path alphabetically
Explore the results by expanding a rule to list the affected files and clicking on the name of a rule to see full details of the findings.
Interpreting ratings and metrics
Code quality results should always be interpreted in the context of your repository. For example:
- Small repositories, or repositories with only a small amount of code written in supported languages, tend to have few results and good ratings.
- Repositories with a lot of generated code may have many maintenance results, lowering the rating for maintainability. This is not a problem if the source code itself is maintainable.
- Large repositories with a lot of code in a fully supported language often have many results even if the majority of the code has good maintainability and reliability standards.
