## Release Testing
- [launchdarkly.com: Release Testing Explained π](https://launchdarkly.com/blog/get-a-detailed-explanation-of-release-testing-several/) Release testing refers to coding practices and test strategies that give teams confidence that a software release candidate is ready for users. Release testing aims to find and eliminate errors and bugs from a software release so that it can be released to users. Letβs dive in and explore several methods used to perform release testing.

However most popular open-source static analysis scanners cover only a handful of languages, or offer limited security rules. In this talk, weβll present Semgrep, an open-source static analysis tool that support 12+ languages, and simplifies writing custom rules for organization-specific code patterns. In addition, weβll show how to integrate Semgrep into a Jenkins Pipeline for scanning every commit or PR.
