23.1.1 About APEX Advisor

Learn About APEX Advisor.

Before deploying your application, you can use the APEX Advisor to perform various sanity checks on your application. The Advisor checks for errors, security issues, performance bottlenecks, quality assurance, and other best practices.

Oracle APEX Advisor functions like a compiler or LINT and flags suspicious behavior or errors. Running Advisor checks the integrity of your application based on the underlying metadata.
