What is the top reason you chose Sonar?

  • To establish organization-wide Clean Code standards for our codebase
  • To minimize application maintenance time and costs
  • To establish best coding practices in the team
  • For organizational code quality and security initiative

Use Case

Which capabilities of SonarQube are most useful for your organization?

  • Branch Analysis and Pull Request decoration
  • Quality Gates to support the Clean as You Code methodology

Confirmed that running SonarQube always helps them to find and fix issues in their code without leaving their development workflow.

Their plan to prioritize Clean Code in their organizational goals is already in progress.

Confirmed that they never practice Clean as You Code with recommended Quality Gates on new code.

Please rate the following Sonar capabilities compared to the competition:

  • Speed of analysis: significantly better
  • Detecting issues (bugs, vulnerabilities, hotspots, etc.): significantly better
  • Contextual guidance in the development workflow: significantly better
  • Support for languages, frameworks, and infrastructure technologies: significantly better
  • Administration of code quality standards using quality gates: best in class

Confirmed that after purchasing Sonar, they saw a return on their investment within the first month.

They agree that Sonar enables organizations to achieve their Clean Code goals predictably and systematically.

Confirmed that since implementing Sonar into their development workflow, they have saved 1 – 5 hours per week or more on average, addressing bad code.

When implementing Clean as You Code at your organization, what is the greatest impact it’s had?

  • “That it has allowed us to focus our effort on making sure new code is clean instead of addressing technical debt”
  • The ability to standardize code quality expectations across the organization
  • The reinforcement of coding best practices
  • It has made it easier to write high-quality code the first time
