Live Check Quality for ServiceNow - README

The Quality Clouds extension for Visual Studio Code connects to our centralized, curated set of best practices and rules and checks your code against it in real time. Our ruleset includes best practices for ServiceNow, Quality Clouds own recommendations, and other industry standards.

Quality Clouds makes SaaS platforms such as ServiceNow easier to govern and grow. Designed by experts to deliver rich insights for both business and IT, it offers unrivalled transparency over the entire software development lifecycle. Its comprehensive selection of automated solutions empower users to deliver high quality platforms in a fraction of the time.

Once installed and configured, your Live Check Quality extension lets you check and improve your code with best practices from our rulesets.

Checking your ServiceNow code

NOTE: You can only check the code if you have the ServiceNow Extension for VS Code installed and connected to an instance. Live Check Quality for ServiceNow lets you check the code of your scratch files. You then need to make suggested changes on the corresponding instance files.

Checking your code

Every time you wish, you can run a check on the file you are working on:

1. Right-click on a file you want to check and select Now: Show XML. This created a scratch file in your workspace.
2. Press Ctrl + Shift + P. This opens up a command prompt.
3. Type in ServiceNow Quality Live check, and click on it. This runs a check against all our rules.
4. Check the issues detected in the Problems section in the editor.

Requirements

Make sure you install and connect the ServiceNow Extension for VS Code extension.
