GENEVA AND AUSTIN — October 17, 2024 — Later this month, from October 29th to 30th at the Fort Mason Center in San Francisco, Sonar, the code quality and security leader, will join GitHub and other software development leaders, including Docker, Datadog, and Atlassian, at GitHub Universe 2024 in San Francisco.
“GitHub Universe is a fantastic chance for us to engage with developers and software leaders directly about the challenges they face on a daily basis,” said Harry Wang, VP of Growth & New Ventures at Sonar. “This year, we’ll be focused on helping attendees understand how they can benefit from using SonarQube and GitHub Copilot to enhance the developer experience and set rigorous standards around the quality and security of code delivered – whether it’s written by AI code assistants or software engineers.”
Sonar’s attendance at GitHub Universe follows the company’s recent release of AI Code Assurance, which aims to improve the quality of code produced by generative AI. The capability deepens Sonar’s commitment to the delivery of high-quality, secure code and increasing developer productivity. For developers using AI-coding assistants, Sonar AI Code Assurance provides an additional layer of trust, ensuring that projects with AI-generated code meet high standards of quality and security.
Attendees can see AI Code Assurance in action on the GitHub Universe Demo Stage during the session, “SonarQube, the perfect companion to GitHub Copilot” at 2:00 p.m. PT on October 30, and on the conference floor at the Sonar booth. Additionally, ahead of the event, on October 28, Sonar will host a Meetup for its community members to network and discuss static code analysis. Both talks will be presented by Sonar Community Manager, Colin Mueller.
Development teams that use Sonar can minimize risk, ensure code quality, and derive more value from code created by both AI and humans in a predictable and sustainable way. When using GitHub Copilot and Sonar solutions, like SonarQube, developers benefit from the significant productivity boosts provided by AI assistance while ensuring their code continues to meet high standards of quality and security. Sonar's comprehensive analysis goes beyond surface-level checks by addressing critical vulnerabilities like taint analysis, providing deep static analysis for production-grade code, and enforcing compliance with common regulatory standards.
Today, GitHub Copilot is trusted by 1.8M+ paid subscribers and 77K+ organizations. GitHub Copilot alone has proven to boost developer productivity by up to 55% through the automation of repetitive tasks.
