ors ▁and ▁other ▁pre processing ▁operations ▁are ▁available . ▁Con Q AT ▁implements ▁algorithms ▁for ▁detect ing ▁redund ancy ▁and ▁architecture ▁analysis ▁in ▁process ors / block s . ▁Furthermore , ▁it ▁integr ates ▁established ▁tools , ▁like ▁Find B ugs , ▁F x C op ▁etc . ▁using ▁process ors ▁that ▁read ▁their ▁output ▁formats . ▁Although ▁Con Q AT ▁supports ▁different ▁output ▁formats ▁( e . g . ▁XML ), ▁usually ▁generated ▁HTML ▁files ▁are ▁used ▁to ▁present ▁the ▁analysis ▁results . ▁Visual izations ▁include ▁various ▁diag rams ▁and ▁tre em aps . ▁ ▁Background ▁Con Q AT ▁was ▁developed ▁in ▁ 2 0 0 7 ▁at ▁the ▁Techn ische ▁Universität ▁München ▁and ▁has ▁received ▁acc laim ▁due ▁to ▁several ▁scientific ▁publications ▁on ▁its ▁architecture ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁analysis ▁techniques ▁for ▁detect ing ▁redund ancy ▁( clone ▁detection ) ▁or ▁architecture ▁con formance ▁anal ys es . ▁Since ▁ 2 0 0 9 , ▁Con Q AT ▁has ▁been ▁maintained ▁and ▁developed ▁in ▁a ▁partners hip ▁between ▁T U ▁Mun ich ▁and ▁C Q SE ▁GmbH ▁as ▁an ▁open - source ▁project . ▁ ▁References ▁ ▁External ▁links ▁▁▁ ▁Tool ▁Support ▁for ▁Cont inu ous ▁Qu ality ▁Control ▁by ▁F . ▁De issen bo e ck , ▁E . ▁J uer gens , ▁B . ▁Hum mel , ▁S . ▁Wagner , ▁B . ▁Mas ▁y ▁Par are da , ▁M . ▁P iz ka , ▁IE EE ▁Computer ▁Society , ▁IE EE ▁Software , ▁Vol . ▁ 2 5 ,
