Sonar the quality dashboard tool
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010I thought I would share my new preferred tool: sonar.
It is a web application that enables to visualize and exploit the results of static analysis tools, tests and dependency analysis tools. It gives a fantastic view of the overall quality of your code, highlights the problem areas and even enable you to visualize the highest priority items.
My favorite piece is the technical debt optional plugin. With some effort you can probably make it somewhat accurate for your particular circumstances. Which would be somewhat missing the point. Ideally you would want to use it as a benchmark value across organizations as the appetite for quality is already reflected in the rules you choose to include in the analysis.
And did I mention it is effortlessly populated from maven ?
