How do you check the quality of the code before review? Do you use analyzers?

Before submitting code for review, I always conduct an independent analysis to minimize comments and improve quality.

Main steps:

• Check the code style for compliance with the standards adopted in the project (e.g., Google Java Style Guide).
• Use static analyzers such as SonarQube, Checkstyle, PMD, or SpotBugs, which help identify potential errors, vulnerabilities, and style violations.
• Run unit tests and integration tests to ensure that changes do not break functionality.
• Conduct local testing and profiling if necessary.

Example of using Checkstyle in Maven:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>3.1.2</version>
  <configuration>
    <configLocation>google_checks.xml</configLocation>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

Thus, analyzers help automate the verification process and maintain high code quality.
