History & Origin of SonarQube?<\/h3>\n

Simon Brandhof starts developing the Sonar platform by integrating best-of-breed open source tools for Java<\/b>. The two of them are joined in September 2007 by Olivier Gaudin, who was enthused by the Sonar platform’s vision and starts contributing to it.<\/p>\n

Back in\u00a02007<\/b>, when first lines of code were created, the founders of SonarQube (originally called Sonar) had a dream to one day provide every developer the ability to measure the code quality of his projects. Their motto: \u201cContinuous Inspection must become mainstream as Continuous Integration\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Covering\u00a027 programming languages<\/a>, while pairing-up with your existing software pipeline, SonarQube provides clear remediation guidance for developers to understand and fix issues and for teams overall to deliver better, safer software. With over 170,000 deployments, helping small development teams as well as global organizations, SonarQube provides the means for all teams and companies, around the world, to own and impact their Code Quality and Security.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

SonarQube is\u00a0a Code Quality Assurance tool that collects and analyzes source code, and provides reports for the code quality of your project<\/b>. It combines static and dynamic analysis tools and enables quality to be measured continually over time.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Once the SonarQube platform has been installed, you’re ready to install a scanner and begin creating projects. To do that, you must install and configure the scanner that is most appropriate for your needs. Do you build with:<\/p>\n
