Abstract
Technologies are disclosed herein for generating comments in a source code review tool using code analysis tools. A producer module can be executed in order to obtain source code from a source code review tool. One or more source code analysis modules can then be executed in order to analyze the source code. A reporter module can then store the output of the source code analysis modules as comments in the source code review tool for use by a developer of the source code. The producer, reporter, and source code analysis modules can be executed in response to a request from the source code developer to perform a source code review, by a job scheduler, or in another manner. An application programming interface (API) exposed by the source code review tool can be utilized to obtain the source code and to store the comments associated with the source code.
