SonarQube can be used by the development team and in external reviews. It can analyse and manage the code in more than 25 programming languages, including Java, Python, JavaScript, Swift, PHP, C, C++, C#, PL/SQL, Ruby, etc., but also HTML, XML, and CSS. More than 50 plugins extend its functionality.

The outcomes of the analysis are quality measures and individually detected issues, which are instances where coding rules were broken. It can analyse source code in several ways:

The new code perspective allows the developers to focus on the code they add or change, instead of looking at the debt that is already in the system and thus quickly spot and early fixed new issues.
