It offers a lovely user interface with distinct groups of infractions ranging from small to large, and it involves fixing the code's needless complexity. It also aids in the removal of duplicate code that has been used several times and the upkeep of method standards. > > **Cons**: Integrating Sonarqube into CI/CD Pipelines takes time, and it may take even longer if the developer is newer. More real-time solutions could be included in the available guide, making it easier to handle issues and complete the integration. > > We primarily need to perform some static analyses. Everyone sends a pool request while they're coding. We must guarantee that the code is up to date before committing it to the main branch. That's basically how we work to make sure that whatever rules we've set up, whatever gates we've set up, are followed before we commit the code to the main branch. I had a lot of fun with the powerful tool. ----- ### "The best bugs exterminator" — 5.0/5 > **Flavio** | *29 May 2022* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Code review could be more focused on the new features implementation than trying to identify silly basic faults. > > **Cons**: The Eclipse Sonarqube plugin was not easy to make it work in the same manner was it was setup in the CI/CD machines. > > We can't live anymore without Sonarqube. When we started using it 5 years ago, the teams adoption was very fast. ----- ### "Great tool to drive Coding Quality standards" — 3.0/5 > **Chandramouli** | *12 August 2021* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: PR analysis and Integration with Bitbucket are most helpful. > > **Cons**: 1. Number of rules should be increased. 2. Few rules should have custom exclusions. Ex: Naming conventions =\> Organisation-specific words will be there which should be in Capital. 3. Generating a lot of false positives 4. Executive reports should generate based on scheduled triggers. We have 20 projects which are assigned to a Portfolio. if you are going to generate a report and send an email for the first portfolio calculation then the rest of the 19 projects info for that day will be missed. Higher management will think that the generated report is the latest but it is not. 5. PR analysis reports should be generated Quickly > > PR analysis and Integration with Bitbucket are most in avoiding the new issues. The tool needs a lot of improvements 1. Number of rules should be increased. 2. Few rules should have custom exclusions. Ex: Naming conventions =\> Organisation-specific words will be there which should be in Capital. 3.

It check duplicate code, logical bug and many more. > > **Cons**: Custom role adding is difficult rest all good. > > Its very good tool for scanning code and improving code quality by using this tool now we are able to improve code quality which reduces the review time and issues on production. ----- ### "One of the Best tools to incorporate Security into Pipeline" — 5.0/5 > **Mohammed** | *2 October 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great knowledgebase in understanding the bugs and vulnerabilities and fixing them. Highly informational dashboard and tools to filter huge amount of repos. > > **Cons**: Customizing rules are difficult. Certain times they will catch comments and rule engine still needs tweaking > > Sonar cube has been used for Static code analysis and Has been built to Jenkins Pipeline, It allowed to identify huge amount vulnerabilities and helped us to improve our code quality to a great instant. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/182719/sonarqube?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/182719/sonarqube) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
