Why we catch it
Pulls bad-process bugs out of CI before they cost a 90-minute review.
The Hardcoded Url module sits in this category alongside 6 related modules. Together they form one of the layers of a GateTest scan — checks fire in parallel, findings cluster by root cause, and on paid tiers the AI auto-fix loop reads each finding, writes the fix, validates against the scanner, and opens a PR.
How GateTest covers hardcoded url
- Runs on every Full scan and above. Full ($99), Scan + Fix ($199) and Forensic ($399) — every repository tier except Quick ($29), which runs only 4 modules. No additional configuration.
- Free CLI.
npm i -g @gatetest/cli && gatetest --module hardcodedUrlagainst any local repo. No paywall on the scanning itself. - AI auto-fix PR. Scan + Fix tier opens a pull request with the fix, a regression test, and a pair-review by a second AI reviewer. Forensic Scan tier adds per-finding diagnosis and cross-finding attack-chain correlation.
- Honest confidence rating. Findings come with high / medium / low confidence so noisy patterns don't block the gate. The confidence-calibrator trainer reads customer suppressions and tightens rules over time.
