    Use Sonar to Develop a Quality Feedback Loop into the Build Cycle

    By Brian Chaplin on ServerSide, 29 june 2010

    The number of business defects in an application tracks with the number of technical defects. More technical defects normally means more business defects. This means that technical defects can be used as a metric for the overall quality of a development approach. Sonar is a great dashboard for tracking code quality at the project and file level. But how can it be used to as part of the daily workflow?



    Making the Most of Maven: Nexus, Hudson, Sonar
    By Joel Confino, 15 June 2010

    Maven is a build tool. I like Maven because it supports dependency management, consistent builds and a modular code base. But if you are just using Maven without using Nexus, Hudson, Sonar you are really missing out on a lot of goodness. Nexus is a Maven repository manager, Hudson is a CI server, and Sonar is a code metrics server.

    The Code Quality game
    By Ricki Sickenger, 4 June 2010

    Code-Metriken auf dem Prüfstand
    By Sandro Ruch, 4 June 2010

    Wie lässt sich die Qualität von Code bestimmen? Welche Kriterien sollen dafür hinzugezogen werden? Eine mögliche Antwort könnte sein: "So gut wie die Abnahme-Testresultate des Kunden"...



    Changing a project’s artifact id in Sonar
    By Oliver Gierke, 2 Jun 2010

    Sonar is a great tool to take care of code quality in your software projects. I use it heavily to monitor the open source projects I am involved with. When working on getting Hades published into Maven central I had to polish it’s pom.xml and felt the need to align the parent project’s artifact to our chosen OSGi compatible package notation for artifacts

    By Srini Penchikala on InfoQ, 1 June 2010

    The new version of open source code quality management tool Sonar provides design and architecture metrics. Sonar 2.0 introduced the analysis of design, architecture and object-oriented metrics for Java applications. And Sonar 2.1 version, which was released recently, supports the detection of unused methods.
