description	Verification loop for Spring Boot projects: build, static analysis, tests with coverage, security scans, and diff review before release or PR.

Spring Boot Verification Loop

Run before PRs, after major changes, and pre-deploy.

Phase 1: Build

mvn -T 4 clean verify -DskipTests
# or
./gradlew clean assemble -x test

If build fails, stop and fix.

Phase 2: Static Analysis

Maven (common plugins):

mvn -T 4 spotbugs:check pmd:check checkstyle:check

Gradle (if configured):

./gradlew checkstyleMain pmdMain spotbugsMain

Phase 3: Tests + Coverage

mvn -T 4 test
mvn jacoco:report   # verify 80%+ coverage
# or
./gradlew test jacocoTestReport

Report:

• Total tests, passed/failed
• Coverage % (lines/branches)

Phase 4: Security Scan

# Dependency CVEs
mvn org.owasp:dependency-check-maven:check
# or
./gradlew dependencyCheckAnalyze

# Secrets (git)
git secrets --scan  # if configured

Phase 5: Lint/Format (optional gate)

mvn spotless:apply   # if using Spotless plugin
./gradlew spotlessApply

Phase 6: Diff Review

git diff --stat
git diff

Checklist:

• No debugging logs left (System.out, log.debug without guards)
• Meaningful errors and HTTP statuses
• Transactions and validation present where needed
• Config changes documented

Output Template

VERIFICATION REPORT
===================
Build:     [PASS/FAIL]
Static:    [PASS/FAIL] (spotbugs/pmd/checkstyle)
Tests:     [PASS/FAIL] (X/Y passed, Z% coverage)
Security:  [PASS/FAIL] (CVE findings: N)
Diff:      [X files changed]

Overall:   [READY / NOT READY]

Issues to Fix:
1. ...
2. ...

Continuous Mode

• Re-run phases on significant changes or every 30-60 minutes in long sessions
• Keep a short loop: mvn -T 4 test + spotbugs for quick feedback

Remember: Fast feedback beats late surprises. Keep the gate strict - treat warnings as defects in production systems.
