GoQu Dev is a local IDE scanner for Gosu that runs real-time static analysis while developers write code. It helps catch issues early — before commits, pull requests, or CI.

GoQu Dev is a local real-time scanner added to Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that works
as a plugin for IntelliJ IDEA or Guidewire Studio.

It is also a great tool to improve programming skills of particular developer. It helps teams catch issues early, follow Guidewire best practices and continuously improve code quality, long before it reaches review or production.

IntelliJ IDEA

Use GoQu Dev directly in IntelliJ IDEA to scan Gosu in real time as you code. Catch issues early, apply consistent rules, and reduce review back-and-forth.

Back to front

Guidewire Studio

Run GoQu Dev inside Guidewire Studio to validate Gosu instantly against your quality ruleset. Prevent defects before committing and keep standards consistent across the team.

Real-time feedback, commit-ready code

Q: Where does GoQu Dev run (which IDEs are supported)?

GoQu Dev works as a plugin in developer environments such as IntelliJ IDEA and Guidewire Studio, so developers get feedback without leaving the IDE.

Q: What problems does GoQu Dev detect?

It flags rule-based code quality, OWASP, CWE, ISEC and other Guidewire related compliance issues in Gosu code — aligned with OWASP, CWE and Guidewire-specific standards such as ISEC and SurePath – helping teams prevent defects and keep code consistent.

Q: How does GoQu Dev help developers day-to-day?

It provides real-time findings and QuickFix-style suggestions, so developers can fix issues immediately and reduce back-and-forth in code reviews.

Q: Does GoQu Dev replace code reviews?

No – GoQu Dev streamlines reviews by removing avoidable issues early. Reviewers can focus on design, business logic, and higher-risk changes instead of repeating basic checks.

Q: How is GoQu Dev related to GoQu Hub?

GoQu Dev and GoQu Hub are complementary modules: Dev focuses on shift-left feedback in the IDE, while Hub focuses on monitoring, reporting, and governance at scale (often via SonarQube).

Q: When is GoQu Dev the best choice?

When you want faster feedback for developers, fewer defects reaching pull requests, and consistent Gosu standards enforced early — especially in teams that want “quality as you code”.

GoQu Dev runs directly in your IDE to catch Gosu issues as you code—so defects don’t make it into pull requests or CI.

Scan Gosu in real time while you work, not after the commit
Apply 163+ pre-defined rules to keep code consistent and compliant
Use QuickFix suggestions to speed up refactoring and reduce rework
Work inside IntelliJ IDEA or Guidewire Studio with zero context switching

By shifting quality left, GoQu Dev reduces code review friction, lowers defect leakage, and helps teams deliver cleaner Guidewire changes faster.

Benefits for Business owners

Faster delivery — issues are caught while developers code, not during late reviews.
Higher quality — fewer defects reach pull requests and testing phases.
Lower delivery cost — less rework, fewer regressions, less time lost on fixing avoidable problems.

Why this matters: GoQu Dev reduces “review friction” by making code commit-ready earlier, so teams spend more time building features and less time firefighting.

Benefits for Technical leaders & Developers
