Overview

What are the requirements to install Codice? Codice can be installed on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or locally in a VMware virtual machine. The current optimal requirements for running Codice are:

  • 8 GB RAM

  • 4 Cores

  • 16 GB Storage

Which languages and tools does Codice currently support? Currently, Codice support Java and integration with the main VCS and CI/CD tools.

  • Language Java: Version 1.8 and above.

  • Build and dependency management tools Maven: Version 3.9 and above.

More languages are planned for the near future.

What does the installation process involve? The installation process is as simple as deploying our virtual machine within your infrastructure.

What does this virtual machine contain? The virtual machine contains the entire Codice solution, ready to be configured and used as soon as it is started.

Where should I place the machine, and what access does it require? The virtual machine can be deployed anywhere within your infrastructure. It simply needs connectivity with:

  • The Continuous Integration system: this system transparently invokes Codice when it needs to generate or maintain unit tests.

  • The code repository: once Codice is invoked, it needs to access the code to generate and/or modify the applicable unit tests. After completing the process, it automatically includes the tests in the repository.

  • OpenAI: Codice relies on artificial intelligence (currently from OpenAI) to generate the tests. Therefore, it needs connectivity with this service.

What does the configuration of Codice involve? Once the machine is deployed and running, you can access the web front-end at: http://<ASSIGNED IP>/codice From here, you can configure the code repositories that will integrate with the solution. To do this, select “New Repository” and complete the requested information, which includes:

  • Git URL

  • User

  • User’s private SSH key

  • List of exceptions (wildcard). You can download an example of the exceptions file from the same form.

Once this is configured in Codice, you need to perform the necessary configuration in the repository:

  • Create the user for Codice

  • Create the user’s SSH key and save the public key in the newly created user’s profile

  • Grant the user permission to the repositories you want to integrate with Codice

  • If you are using a custom settings.xml, ensure that the user specified in the settings.xml has the necessary permissions to download internal dependencies from the artifact repository.

Finally, you will need to create a pipeline in the CI system that will invoke Codice with each code change.
