Rust QA Tools (Gradle Equivalent)

Core Tools (Built into Cargo)

1. cargo fmt (like Spotless/Google Java Format)

cargo fmt              # Format code
cargo fmt -- --check   # Check formatting (CI)

2. cargo clippy (like SpotBugs/PMD/Checkstyle)

cargo clippy                    # Lint code
cargo clippy -- -D warnings     # Fail on warnings
cargo clippy --fix              # Auto-fix issues

3. cargo test (like JUnit)

cargo test              # Run all tests
cargo test --release    # Test optimized build
cargo test -- --nocapture  # Show println output

4. cargo bench (like JMH)

cargo bench             # Run benchmarks

Additional QA Tools

5. cargo-audit (like OWASP Dependency Check)

cargo install cargo-audit
cargo audit             # Check for security vulnerabilities

6. cargo-tarpaulin (like JaCoCo)

cargo install cargo-tarpaulin
cargo tarpaulin --out Html  # Code coverage

7. cargo-watch (like Gradle continuous build)

cargo install cargo-watch
cargo watch -x test     # Auto-run tests on change
cargo watch -x run      # Auto-run on change

8. cargo-deny (like Gradle dependency verification)

cargo install cargo-deny
cargo deny check        # Check licenses, bans, advisories

9. cargo-outdated (like Gradle dependency updates)

cargo install cargo-outdated
cargo outdated          # Check for outdated dependencies

10. cargo-bloat (like Gradle build scan)

cargo install cargo-bloat
cargo bloat --release   # Analyze binary size

Build Tools

Make (Traditional)

make qa                 # Run QA pipeline
make ci                 # Run CI pipeline
make build              # Build release

Just (Modern Alternative)

cargo install just
just qa                 # Run QA pipeline
just watch              # Watch and test
just coverage           # Code coverage

CI/CD Integration

GitHub Actions (Already configured)

# .github/workflows/ci.yml
- run: cargo fmt -- --check
- run: cargo clippy -- -D warnings
- run: cargo test
- run: cargo build --release

Pre-commit Hooks

# Install
cargo install cargo-husky

# .cargo/husky/pre-commit
cargo fmt -- --check
cargo clippy -- -D warnings
cargo test

Quick Commands

# Format everything
make fmt

# Run full QA
make qa

# CI pipeline
make ci

# Or with just
just qa
just ci

Comparison to Gradle

Gradle Plugin Rust Tool Command
Spotless cargo fmt cargo fmt
Checkstyle cargo clippy cargo clippy
SpotBugs cargo clippy cargo clippy
JUnit cargo test cargo test
JaCoCo cargo-tarpaulin cargo tarpaulin
OWASP Check cargo-audit cargo audit
JMH cargo bench cargo bench
Gradle Scan cargo-bloat cargo bloat
  1. Before commit:
    make qa
    
  2. During development:
    just watch
    
  3. Before release:
    make ci
    cargo audit
    cargo tarpaulin
