Addons
In Squore an addon is a tool that can be executed by Squore in order to execute some tasks during, after and outside an analysis scope.
There are different types of addons in Squore:
-
Repository Connectors, to import the data sources during an analysis.
-
Data Providers, to create Squore objects (artefacts, metrics, findings and such) from imported sources during an analysis.
-
Exports, to export data outside of Squore.
-
External Tools, to execute external scripts outside an analysis scope.
Addons are defined in two separate folders:
-
<SQUORE_HOME>/configuration, where the addon’s configuration files are stored.
-
<SQUORE_HOME>/addons, where the addon’s execution files are stored.

To improve readability and structure the addons configuration folders, they are distributed into sub-folders corresponding to the addons types:
