Let’s dive into the syllabus:
1: Introduction to SonarQube
Get the big picture: Why SonarQube matters, its role in DevOps/DevSecOps, and how it fits into CI/CD. Learn to install and configure SonarQube on Unix/Windows, set up databases (MySQL/PostgreSQL), and navigate its user-friendly interface.
2: Code Analysis Basics
Master the art of scanning: Run your first analysis, interpret metrics like code coverage and complexity, and understand issues (bugs, vulnerabilities, code smells). Hands-on labs teach you to analyze Python, Java, or JavaScript projects.
3: Quality Profiles and Gates
Customize quality profiles to enforce coding standards (e.g., PEP8 for Python). Set up quality gates to block subpar code from production. Pro tip: You’ll configure rules for specific languages, making your scans laser-focused.
| Feature | Description | Real-World Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Quality Profiles | Custom rules for coding standards | Ensures team consistency |
| Quality Gates | Pass/fail criteria for releases | Prevents buggy code in production |
| Code Coverage | Measures tested code percentage | Boosts reliability in testing |
4: Integration with CI/CD
Embed SonarQube into Jenkins, GitLab, or Azure DevOps for automated scans. Learn to trigger analysis via Maven/Gradle, interpret reports, and use plugins for seamless workflows. This module bridges development and operations like never before.
5: Advanced Features and Best Practices
Dive into SonarQube’s power tools: Branch analysis for Git projects, portfolio management for large codebases, and security hotspot detection. Explore best practices for reducing technical debt and optimizing performance in large teams.
By the end, you’ll confidently set up SonarQube servers, analyze multi-language projects, and enforce quality gates in production pipelines. The capstone project—think integrating SonarQube with a Jenkins pipeline—ensures you’re job-ready.
