two-pass-analysis

To separate metric collection from build gating in CI/CD, use a two-pass analysis pattern where Pass 1 collects quality metrics like linting violations without failing the build, and Pass 2 applies configurable thresholds to gate it.

Quality analysis often conflates measuring metrics with enforcing standards because traditional CI gating fails builds immediately upon detecting issues, which blocks development and prevents saving historical data for trend analysis.

The best way to track quality metric trends without blocking development is decoupled analysis: collect metrics in a first pass, then apply versioned thresholds in a second pass while saving historical data for trend insights.

Yes, you can use configurable thresholds for security scanning and performance testing. Thresholds are defined and versioned separately from the analysis logic, allowing flexible gating across various quality checks in your pipeline.

Yes, you need historical data for trend analysis in quality assurance metrics. The two-pass analysis pattern requires historical data to provide trend insights and track how metrics like linting violations change over time.

To apply a threshold to gate a build after collecting eslint metrics, run a two-pass analysis: Pass 1 collects all linting violations without failing, then Pass 2 applies a configurable threshold like max 5 errors to gate the build.
