Regression detection
Raise severity when a change reintroduces a previously fixed problem.
How to build it
- Record each fixed issue with its code location and the pull request that fixed it.
- Check each new finding against fixed issues in the same area of code.
- Raise severity when the new change matches a fixed issue.
Signals in a repository
- Records of fixed issues that name the pull request that fixed them.
- Review comments that say a problem was reintroduced after an earlier fix.
In practice
No scanned repository runs a tool for this check. The steps above are the only guidance.
