Semmle

Overview

Semmle Inc is a software company that specializes in code analysis technology. Founded in December 2006 as a spin-out from the University of Oxford, it is headquartered in San Francisco, California. The company is known for its advanced code analysis platform, which automates code review, tracks developer contributions, and identifies security vulnerabilities.

The core product, LGTM (Looks Good To Me), utilizes CodeQL, a semantic code analysis engine that enables users to write custom queries for detecting code patterns and vulnerabilities. Semmle’s tools support continuous code quality monitoring and developer productivity tracking, and they offer free access to CodeQL for open source projects. Major organizations including NASA, Uber, Microsoft, and Google use this technology to manage large software systems and enhance code quality. In September 2019, Semmle was acquired by GitHub, integrating its technology with GitHub’s security offerings to provide continuous vulnerability detection and secure software development tools.
