Final answer:
Static Code Analysis can be performed from a pipeline or feature branch, requiring proper tool settings or configurations to be established for tools like CodeScan or PMD.
Step-by-step explanation:
Static Code Analysis can be executed either from a pipeline or from any feature branch that is part of a repository. No matter which tool you use--CodeScan or PMD--remember that you will first need to create the settings or configurations for the chosen tool and assign these settings to the environment. Therefore, the correct sequence is Pipeline / Feature Branch / Repository / Settings / CodeScan / PMD / Configurations / Environment.
