SonarQube (formerly Sonar)[3] is an open-source platform developed by SonarSource for continuous inspection of code quality to perform automatic reviews with static analysis of code to detect bugs and code smells on 29 programming languages. SonarQube offers reports on duplicated code, coding standards, unit tests, code coverage, code complexity, comments, bugs, and security recommendations.[4][5]

SonarQube provides automated analysis and integration with Maven, Ant, Gradle, MSBuild, and continuous integration tools.[6][7][8]

Overview

SonarQube supports the programming languages: Java (including Android), C#, C, C++, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, Swift, COBOL, Apex, PHP, Kotlin, Ruby, Scala, HTML, CSS, ABAP, Flex, Objective-C, PL/I, PL/SQL, RPG, T-SQL, VB.NET, VB6, and XML.[9] As of December 2021, analyzing C, C++, Objective-C, Swift, ABAP, T-SQL, and PL/SQL is only available via a commercial license.

SonarQube is an open core product for static code analysis, with additional features offered in commercial editions.

SonarQube for IDE

SonarQube is expandable with the use of plug-ins. It integrates with Eclipse, Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, and IntelliJ IDEA development environments through SonarQube for IDE[10] plug-ins, as well as external tools such as LDAP, Active Directory, and GitHub.[11][12]

Reception

In 2009, SonarQube received a Jolt Award under the testing tools category.[13][14]
