The Embold “Cheat Sheet” for Java, JavaScript, Typescript, C#, Python & C++

While all information about the checks and features offered by Embold is available on our comprehensive docs portal, to make things easier for you, we have created this “cheat sheet.” Here you can find what checks, features, and functionality are available for your language within Embold. Here’s a look at some of the features that we offer and the parameters across which we operate, specifically in the context of these languages.

1. Overview – In this section, we take a look at a few important parameters and the features offered within each. This includes the number of code issues that Embold can detect within each language, the number of metrics across which these issues can be detected, and whether or not detection of duplicate code is available for each specific language.

	Java	JavaScript	Typescript	C#	Python	C++
Number of Code Issues	731	392	163	48	371	648
Number of Metrics	18	18	18	18	3	18
Duplicate Code	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓

1. Supported Versions – Compatibility is always a major concern. If you are writing your program in a version that doesn’t work with Embold, you will not be able to check your code. So here’s a list of the versions supported by Embold for each of these languages.

	Java	JavaScript	Typescript	C#	Python	C++
Supported  Versions	–	ES5, ES6	2.0 – 3.0	.Net FW 2.0 – 7.0, .Net Core 1.0	3.0	98, 14, 11

1. Code Issues – Embold divides the code issues it detects across up to five parameters based on the seriousness and severity of the issue. In this section, we take a closer look at some of the code issues across these parameters and cite some examples to give you an idea of the type of issues you can expect Embold to pick up on.

	Java	JavaScript	Typescript	C#	Python	C++

1. Anti-patterns – Anti-patterns are tricky pieces of code that appear to be legitimate but function in a counterintuitive fashion, making them extremely difficult to detect without a dedicated analyzer. The following table looks are the most prominent examples of anti-patterns and Embold’s ability to detect them for each language.

Anti-patterns	Java	JavaScript	Typescript	C#	Python	C++
God Class	✓		✓	✓		✓
Shotgun Surgery	✓		✓	✓		✓
Dispersed Coupling	✓		✓	✓		✓
Global Variable					✓	✓
Monster File		✓			✓
Nested Function		✓			✓
File Coupling		✓			✓
Unused Method	✓		✓	✓		✓
