SOFTWARE MAINTAINABILITY
Software maintainability enhanced with Clean Code
Ensure that your codebase can be easily read, understood, modified, repaired, and enhanced at any time by any developer. Enable developers to design code that is scalable to manage growth and change which allows for easier additions, features and improvements.
By some estimates, code maintenance accounts for more than 90% of project costs. If your codebase is hard to maintain, efforts to address issues can become increasingly costly and time-consuming. This leads to stagnated velocity on feature delivery that impacts your overall success.
With Clean Code you have happier developers and higher team velocity.
Minimal code maintenance leads to an optimized development workflow that supports more maintainable software.
When code is easy to understand, updates and new projects happen faster.
Spend less time figuring out how someone else’s code works and more time working on interesting problems.
Whether you're new to a language or just polishing your technique, Sonar makes every Issue a teachable moment embedded within your workflow.
Personal preference gives way to team wisdom when you enshrine your coding standards in your quality profiles.
Get advance warnings of potential pitfalls with guidance to mitigate code smells when they’re raised early in the development process.
Add SonarQube for IDE to your IDE for the earliest possible feedback. With SonarQube for IDE to catch new issues as you code, no one will ever see your mistakes. Plus, it’s free and open source!
Proactively tackle issues with pull request analysis prior to peer review with Commercial Editions of SonarQube Server or SonarQube Cloud.
SOFTWARE MAINTAINABILITY IS MORE THAN JUST ISSUES
Sonar invented Cognitive Complexity to detect issues when code is structured in a way that is hard to understand. Complex code is more likely to be buggy and confusing which leads maintainers to add new bugs.
Multiple copies of the same code mean many places to make, or miss, changes. Sonar helps you consolidate duplications for smoother future maintenance.
Ensure you can confidently make changes; if the tests still pass, you know you haven't broken anything. Sonar highlights where your coverage is good, and where it could be improved.
