Validation Task

Validation task is added to perform Static Code Analysis checks and generate the validation report to view the errors encountered. You can continue the execution of the pipeline even upon failure by checking the checkbox – Continue On Failure by fixing the errors seen in the log and re-running the release pipeline.

Note: The behavior and configuration of the Validation Task differ based on the selected project type.
