“Getting Sonar scans on our all products is a must nowadays.”

“Sonar runs stable and helps us build more reliable software products.”

Challenges

The business challenges that led the profiled company to evaluate and ultimately select Sonar:

  • We needed to establish organization-wide Clean Code standards for our codebase
  • We needed to establish best coding practices in the team
  • For the organizational code quality and our security initiative

Use Case

Which capabilities of SonarQube are most useful for your organization?

  • Quality Gates to support the Clean as You Code methodology
  • In-context guidance & best practices to address issues
  • Comprehensive security reports

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

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

Confirmed that they always practice Clean as You Code with recommended Quality Gates on new code.

Results

The surveyed company achieved the following results with Sonar:

Confirmed that since implementing Sonar into their development workflow, they have saved 5 – 10 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
