What is SonarQube?

SonarQube is a leading open-source platform designed for continuous inspection of code quality. It provides developers with detailed insights into code vulnerabilities, code smells, bugs, and duplications, making it a critical tool for maintaining robust and secure codebases.

Why is SonarQube Important?

• Improved Code Quality: Identifies bugs, code smells, and security vulnerabilities to enhance code reliability.
• Continuous Integration: Fits seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines, allowing automated code analysis at every build.
• Security Assurance: Detects potential security risks and helps in proactive mitigation.
• Technical Debt Management: Monitors and highlights technical debt, providing actionable insights to keep it under control.
• Multi-Language Support: Analyzes code across different programming languages, making it versatile for various projects.

SonarQube in Our Project

In this project, we are leveraging SonarQube to integrate with our Maven-based applications. This integration will enable automated code quality analysis, ensuring that our code adheres to best practices and remains secure, efficient, and maintainable.

Steps Covered in the Project

1. SonarQube Installation:

   • Installed on an AWS EC2 Red Hat instance.
   • Configured to run as a service for continuous monitoring.

2. SonarQube Integration with Maven:

   • Configured the pom.xml file in the Maven project to link it to the SonarQube server.
   • Executed the Maven command mvn sonar:sonar to analyze the codebase and push the results to the SonarQube dashboard.

Project Objectives

• Automate Code Quality Checks: Ensure code quality is consistently monitored during development and deployment phases.
• Enhance Code Reliability: Identify and fix issues early in the development process, reducing future maintenance costs.
• Implement Best Practices: Maintain industry-standard coding practices by adhering to the quality reports generated by SonarQube.

How to Access Code Quality Reports
