SonarQube

SonarQube is an open-source platform for continuous inspection of code quality and security. It performs static code analysis to detect bugs, vulnerabilities, code smells, and technical debt across multiple programming languages. The tool provides detailed reports and dashboards to help development teams maintain and improve code health.

Also known as: Sonar, SonarQube, SonarCloud, SonarLint, SonarScanner

Why learn SonarQube?

Developers should use SonarQube to enforce code quality standards, identify security vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle, and reduce technical debt in large or long-term projects. It is particularly valuable in CI/CD pipelines for automated code reviews and in teams following Agile or DevOps practices to ensure maintainable and secure codebases.
