Ensure quality is built into every step of your continuous integration pipeline by integrating Quality Clouds’ capabilities directly into Copado. With this integration, every commit associated with your user stories can be automatically checked for adherence to coding standards and best practices — helping you catch issues early and deliver higher quality Salesforce apps.

A new Release Tracker experience is now available, providing a centralized view of quality and scan coverage across Copado releases. This integration helps Release Managers move away from manual, ad-hoc scanning and manage quality more effectively from a single place.

The Release Tracker is available as a new tab within the Quality Clouds App’s Instance Details view and allows users to:

• View all Copado User Stories linked to a specific release in one consolidated list.
• Monitor key quality indicators, including Quality Gate status, issue counts, and items that have not yet been scanned.
• Trigger scans in bulk for multiple user stories at once, reducing manual effort.
• Quickly identify quality blockers that may prevent items from being ready for deployment.
  
  

This improvement enables earlier visibility into quality risks, ensures better scan coverage across releases, and simplifies release-level quality management.
