Sonar Qube Integration with Azure DevOps Pipeline

February 10, 2023

SonarQube

SonarQube is an open-source platform developed by Sonar Source for continuous inspection of code quality. Sonar does static code analysis, which provides a detailed report of bugs, code smells, vulnerabilities, code duplications. It supports 25+ major programming languages through built-in rulesets and can also be extended with various plugins.

SonarQube Deployment Strategy

Build Pipeline

The developer checks in the source code to the Azure code repository.
Azure Continuous Integration pipeline triggers the build by cloning the application code from Azure repo to either Microsoft hosted build agent or self-managed build agents.

Run code Analysis

This task will actually do the code scan and the analysis. But for this, you need to add your project build task prior to this task in the build pipeline.

Publish Quality Gate Result

The last and final step is to publish the result of the scan and quality Gate. This step ensures the result of the code scan is displayed as a summary on the build result page.
In this step is not mandatory, even if you don’t add this step you will be able to view the code scan result in Sonarqube dashboard in the Sonarqube server.page.

Sonarqube dashboard

Once build pipelines are configured with Sonarqube code scan and executed if you go back to your Sonarqube dashboard you should be able to view the project info that you have scanned Sonar Analysis code quality result.
