1- What is SonarQube?

SonarQube by SonarSource is the leading tool for continuously inspecting the code quality and security of your codebase and guiding development teams during code reviews. It is an open-source tool that has support for 29 programming languages as of the time of writing this article, and the number is growing.

SonarQube’s key features include ⤵️ :

  • Code quality checkups: SonarQube checks the overall health of your code and, more importantly, highlights code-related issues (duplication, compliance, bugs). This makes it a great tool for checking code quality.
  • Intelligent bug detection: SonarQube provides code analyzers and uses powerful path-sensitive dataflow engines that can point out mistakes like null deferences, logical errors, and resource leaks.
  • Multilanguage support: SonarQube has more than 29 code analyzers for different languages/platforms, like C/C++, JavaScript, C#, Java, COBOL, PL/SQL, PHP, ABAP, VB.NET, Python, RPG, Flex, Objective-C, Swift, web, and more.
  • DevOps integration: It can be easily integrated with CI/CD tools using webhooks and REST APIs. It is compatbile with Jenkins, Bitbucket Cloud, GitLab and GitLab CI (for continuous integration.. yes, yes!!)
  • Code Documentation
