Identifies code that requires a security review and guides developers through risk assessment - not just flagging but educating.
Quality Gate Enforcement
Define pass/fail criteria for code quality and security - automatically block deployments that don't meet your standards.
Technical Debt Tracking
Quantifies technical debt in time, helping teams prioritise remediation efforts and make a business case for code quality.
Branch & PR Analysis
Analyses pull requests in isolation and reports directly on your DevOps platform (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps) - without polluting main branch metrics. Available from Developer Edition.
SonarQube for IDE (formerly SonarLint)

Is SonarQube Right for Your Team?
Sonar describes SonarQube as automated code review for code quality and security. It comes as SonarQube Server (self-managed), SonarQube Cloud (SaaS) and the free SonarQube for IDE extension, formerly known as SonarLint.
Who uses SonarQube: Sonar names Thales Raytheon Systems, ZEISS, CleverTap, DEPT, Freshworks, Xero and Cisco among its customers on its own website.
SonarQube Is a Good Fit For
- Development teams that want one quality and security standard enforced on every pull request
- Organisations that must keep source code on their own infrastructure: SonarQube Server is deployed by you, on-premises or in your cloud
- Teams reviewing growing volumes of AI-generated code
- Enterprises that need portfolio reporting and security reports for OWASP, CWE, PCI DSS or STIG
Why Teams Choose SonarQube
- Quality gates answer one question for every project: is it ready for release?
- The same rules run in the IDE and in the pipeline, so issues are caught before commit
- Taint analysis detects injection vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and XSS (Developer Edition and above)
- Editions scale from the free Community Build to Data Center Edition with high availability
What You Gain with SonarQube
Quality gates on every change
Quality gates enforce your quality policy on new code, and pull request analysis with decoration shows the result in your DevOps platform (Developer Edition and above).
Feedback while typing
SonarQube for IDE, formerly SonarLint, is a free extension that checks code as you write it and can connect to SonarQube Server or Cloud to share rules.
Injection vulnerability detection
Taint analysis tracks user-controlled input through the code to detect injection flaws such as SQL injection, XSS and code injection.
Security and compliance reports
Security reports cover OWASP Top 10, OWASP ASVS, OWASP Mobile Top 10, CWE Top 25, PCI DSS, STIG and CASA (Enterprise Edition and above).
Dependency risk with advanced security
From Enterprise Edition, advanced security adds software composition analysis for third-party dependencies, secret detection and custom injection patterns.
Help with AI-generated code
AI Code Assurance applies quality gates to AI-generated code, and AI CodeFix proposes fixes for detected issues (Enterprise Edition and above).
