+# Static Code Analysis
+
+This project uses static code analysis in order to ensure that the codebase meets certain standards
+that can be verified through automation. Two of these libraries used throughout this project are
+Detekt and Ktlint.
+
+## Detekt
+
+[Detekt](https://github.com/detekt/detekt) is a static analysis tool that checks for code smells.
+Examples include magic numbers, complicated conditionals, long methods, long parameter lists, and so
+much more. It is highly configurable, and if you choose to turn off any checks or customize
+thresholds you can do so in the [config file](/config/detekt/detekt.yml).
+
+To run a detekt validation, use the following Gradle command:
+
+```
+./gradlew detekt
+```
+
+## Ktlint
+
+[Ktlint](https://github.com/pinterest/ktlint) is a static analysis tool from Pinterest that prevents
+bike shedding when it comes to code formatting. It also comes with a Gradle task to automatically
+format your entire codebase, if it can. The benefit of a tool like this is to ensure everyone on the
+team will have code formatted the same way, and there's no debating around white spaces,
+indentation, imports, etc.
+
+We use the [JLLeitschuh](https://github.com/jlleitschuh/ktlint-gradle) Ktlint Gradle plugin in this
+project. You can find the setup in [this Gradle file](/buildscripts/ktlint.gradle).
+
+The following Gradle commands can be helpful:
+
+```
+// Format the Codebase
+./gradlew ktlintFormat
+
+// Check if everything is formatted correctly
+./gradlew ktlintCheck
+```

+# Versions Plugin
+
+This project uses the [Gradle Versions Plugin](https://github.com/ben-manes/gradle-versions-plugin)
+from Ben Manes. Ths is an extremely helpful plugin that will check all of the dependencies in the
+project, and see if they have any new versions. Currently, it is configured to only check for stable
+versions, but you can customize that inside [this Gradle file](/buildscripts/versions.gradle).
+
+To run this check of dependency updates, use the following Gradle command:
+
+```
+./gradlew dependencyUpdates
+```
+
+This will print the updates to the console, as well as in a text file.
