What is Code Scan Plugin/Tools?

Code scan plugins/tools are software applications or extensions integrated into development environments (IDEs), build pipelines, or source code management systems. They automatically analyze source code to identify potential bugs, security vulnerabilities, coding style violations, and other quality issues. These tools are used to improve code quality, reduce the risk of security breaches, and ensure adherence to coding standards. They often provide suggestions for remediation and can be configured to enforce specific coding rules.
