Have you had cases of automating code quality assessment processes?

Yes, automation of code quality assessment is a common practice. For example, in Python projects, static analysis tools like pylint, flake8, mypy (for type checking) are used. Automation is usually integrated into CI/CD pipelines so that checks are automatically run on each commit or pull request.

Example of automation with flake8 in GitHub Actions:

name: Lint Python code
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
  lint:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Set up Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v2
        with:
          python-version: '3.x'
      - name: Install flake8
        run: pip install flake8
      - name: Run flake8
        run: flake8 .

This approach helps maintain a consistent code style and detect errors early in development.
