Here are some gradle tasks that are executed by CI process:
Detekt is a tool that performs static code analysis on top of kotlin language. It operates using syntactic tree provided for kotlin compiler. It basically has a set of rules defined to find non-standard code snippets, such as excessive number of lines in methods, excessive number of methods in classes, annotations of the type suppression etc. This helps to keep the code standardized and without possible syntax errors. More about detekt can be found in the documentation
Detekt task is executed in a lane called pull_request_verification
Test is a task defined by the gradle that executes the test codes created with JUnit or TestNG, as in the project we use JUnit, these will be executed. This task to be performed is extremely important because it ensures that before the generation of any artifact, unit tests are performed and verified to ensure that no code changes have broken any business rules or routine. More about this task can be found in the documentation
