Abstract (EN): GLITCH is a versatile tool designed for detecting code smells in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) scripts across multiple technologies. Developed by researchers from INESC-ID (Lisbon), INESC TEC (Porto), Instituto Superior T & eacute;cnico / University of Lisbon, and the Faculty of Engineering / University of Porto, GLITCH automates the detection of both security and design flaws in scripts written in Ansible, Chef, Docker, Puppet, and Terraform. By using a technology-agnostic framework, GLITCH aims to improve the consistency and efficiency of code smell detection, making it valuable resource for DevOps engineers and researchers focused on software quality.
