Integration Guide

Step 1: Import Components

import { resultCache } from './utils/ResultCache.js';
import { fileChangeDetector } from './utils/FileChangeDetector.js';
import { parallelAnalyzer } from './core/ParallelAnalyzer.js';
import { performanceMonitor } from './utils/PerformanceMonitor.js';

Step 2: Use in Validator

performanceMonitor.start();
const changed = fileChangeDetector.detectChanges(files);
const results = await parallelAnalyzer.runParallel(tasks, changed);
fileChangeDetector.updateRecords(changed);
const report = performanceMonitor.end();

Step 3: Configure

Edit .quality/performance.json to customize settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I enable caching? A: Set enabled: true in .quality/performance.json or call resultCache.set() directly.

Q: What if I have a very large project? A: The system scales linearly. Adjust fileChunkSize in config and consider database caching.

Q: How often are caches cleaned up? A: Automatically on 24-hour TTL (configurable). Manual cleanup via resultCache.cleanup().

Q: Can I use this without git? A: Yes, it falls back to file metadata and hash comparison if git is unavailable.

Q: How do I monitor performance? A: Use performanceMonitor.getTrend() and check the generated reports.

Support & Troubleshooting

Common Issues

High Analysis Time:

• Check cache hit rate
• Verify parallelization efficiency
• Profile individual analyzers

Low Cache Hit Rate:

• Verify TTL settings
• Check file change detection accuracy
• Review cache directory permissions

Memory Issues:

• Reduce cache max size
• Enable cache cleanup
• Monitor disk usage

See full troubleshooting in PERFORMANCE_OPTIMIZATION.md
