Strong Testing

Skaffold reaches Level 4 with 88% Testing pass rate. Currently reaching production grade with 43/65 criteria passing (66%). Key areas for improvement include the opportunities listed below.

Strengths

01
Testing (88%)
Includes Integration Tests Exist, Test Coverage Thresholds, Test Isolation.
02
Code Modularization
Go uses internal/ package directories for compiler-enforced module boundaries (pkg/skaffold/, pkg/diag/)
03
Cyclomatic Complexity
golangci-lint includes gocyclo and cyclop linters for complexity analysis

Opportunities

01
Large File Detection
No large file detection tooling found in Git hooks, CI, or .gitattributes
02
Pre Commit Hooks
No pre-commit hooks found (.pre-commit-config.yaml missing, no husky for Go projects)
03
Tech Debt Tracking
No TODO/FIXME scanner in CI, no tech debt tracking tools configured
