1. What is Sonar?● Is a software quality management platform → Java.

● Enabling developers to access and track code analysis data ranging○ styling errors

○ potential bugs

○ code defects

○ code duplications

○ lack of test coverage

○ excess complexity

● Support more than 20 languages.

2. Features

● Overview of all projects (demo)

● Coding rules:

○ 600+ rules are incorporated, can be fully

parameterized.

○ implement your own.

● Standard software metrics: Lines of code, Documented

API, Cyclomatic complexity, Test coverage, Duplicated

code.

2. Features● Drill down to source code● Time Machine (Technical Debt, Code

Smell … -> SQALE), Motion Chart.

Technical Debt

2. Features● Security measures● Extensible plugin system

○ Additional languages.○ Additional metrics: Useless code,

Build stability ...○ Visualization/Reporting:

■ PDF Report.■ Timeline: Google Timeline

Chart.○ Integration:

■ Jenkins and Bamboo.○ IDE: Eclipse
