“The greatest impact it’s had has been that it has allowed us to focus our effort on making sure new code is clean instead of addressing technical debt, and it has given us the ability to standardize the quality of the codebase across the organization.”

Bijay Mangaraj, Senior Vice President @ M&T Bank

Challenges

M&T Bank faced several business challenges that prompted them to evaluate and ultimately select Sonar.

The top reason for choosing Sonar was to establish organization-wide Clean Code standards for their codebase and provide maintainability. They sought to minimize application maintenance time and associated costs, ensuring their software remained efficient and reliable.

Lastly, they considered Sonar as a key component in their broader organizational code quality and security initiative, underlining their commitment to delivering secure and high-quality software solutions.

Use Case

M&T Bank utilizes several key features and functionalities of Sonar to enhance their software development processes. Among these capabilities, they find Quality Gates particularly valuable in supporting the “Clean as You Code” methodology, enabling real-time code quality checks and ensuring that code adheres to predefined standards.

Additionally, M&T Bank leverages Portfolios and executive reporting features to gain insights into project progress and performance. Furthermore, the company has confirmed that SonarQube helps them identify and rectify code issues without disrupting their development workflow.

Results

M&T Bank rated several key Sonar capabilities significantly better than the competition. They highlighted that Sonar excelled in terms of the speed of analysis, providing contextual guidance, support for languages, frameworks, and infrastructure technologies was better than other SAST providers.

The company also confirmed that their investment in Sonar brought a return in less than six months, and since implementing Sonar into their development workflow, they saved a significant amount of time each week, ranging from 1 to 5 hours or more, in addressing bad code.

This has allowed them to standardize the quality of the codebase across the organization and reinforce coding best practices, ultimately leading to cleaner and more efficient code development.
