Solution Checker
By Emil Björk · Microsoft business apps consultant, Gothenburg
Microsoft's static-analysis tool for Power Platform solutions — flags performance, security, accessibility, and platform-misuse issues.
Solution Checker is Microsoft's static-analysis tool for Power Platform solutions. Run on a solution (packaged or in-environment), it scans every component — Power Automate flows, canvas apps, model-driven apps, Power Pages, Dataverse plug-ins, custom JavaScript — against a published rule set covering performance issues, security concerns, accessibility problems, deprecation warnings, and platform-misuse patterns. Results are categorised as Critical / High / Medium / Low; teams gate PR builds on no Critical or High issues remaining. The checker runs from the Power Platform admin centre, from the maker portal, from the pac CLI, and as a step in Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions pipelines. The rule set updates with each platform release; running periodically catches issues introduced by new lint rules.
