Test Root Cause Analysis
Accelerating Code Quality and Security Without Slowing Teams Down
Code Review streamlines post-coding workflows by automating bug detection, security analysis, and AI-powered fixes directly in GitHub. By integrating seamlessly into developer workflows, it eliminates review bottlenecks and reduces deployment time from days to hours.

Understanding the Problem

Every developer experiences the friction of post-coding workflows—waiting for PR reviews, fixing vulnerabilities flagged by security teams, and ensuring compliance before a feature can go live.
CloudAEye wanted to intervene right at this critical point and make the transition from coding to deployment seamless. To achieve this, Code Review needed to: ✅ Eliminate friction in the review process ✅ Automate bug detection and security analysis ✅ Provide AI-generated fixes to speed up development ✅ Integrate deeply into GitHub to minimize context switching

Research & UX Insights

Competitive Analysis

We studied existing AI-assisted code review tools, analyzing:
How they integrated into GitHub or other version control systems
What kind of reports they generated (security vulnerabilities, code quality insights, etc.)
How developers interacted with these tools within their workflow
This led to a Figma prototype - a jumping board from which we could pivot to a point of better UX.

User Testing & Feedback

Once we had a working prototype, we conducted hands-on user testing with a startup founder and engineers, asking them to review a Figma prototype. Their key insights shaped the next stage of our design:
Developers didn't want a separate UI – switching between CloudAEye and GitHub was inefficient
Better integration was needed – surfacing insights directly in GitHub comments was preferable
Report credibility was key – AI-generated reports needed risk classification to be trusted

Design & Iteration Process

UI in CloudAEye

Our initial prototype surfaced AI-generated code review reports Security vulnerability detection PR summaries
Challenge: Developers didn’t want to switch between GitHub and CloudAEye's UI. The developer is already multitasking, and they didn't want another window open.
Solution: It was clear to us, that for the developer to have an integrated experience wherein the context of the report was close to the report itself

Integrating with GitHub

Based on user feedback, we transformed Code Review into a GitHub integration, featuring:
AI-generated comments under pull requests
Automated security analysis & bug detection
A CloudAEye bot that could be invoked on-demand
This ensured developers never had to leave GitHub to access insights.
To boost trust in AI-generated reports, we added:
Categorization using OWASP standards
Risk levels for security vulnerabilities
Priority-based sorting of issues
This made it easier for teams to focus on high-impact issues first.

Outcomes & Impact

We successfully built a GitHub-integrated AI code reviewer that: 🚀 Reduced post-coding workflow time from 4 days to under 1 day 💡 Enabled seamless AI-powered bug fixes 🔗 Kept developers entirely within GitHub for their reviews 🔍 Classified security issues using OWASP standards By embedding intelligence directly into developer workflows, Code Review turned slow, manual review cycles into an AI-assisted process, helping teams ship faster and with confidence.
