What does the term Sqale stands for?

SQALE (Software Quality Assessment based on Lifecycle Expectations) is a method to support the evaluation of a software application source code.

What is debt ratio in SonarQube?

Ratio between the cost to develop the software and the cost to fix it. The Technical Debt Ratio formula is: Remediation cost / Development cost.

How does SonarQube calculate technical debt?

SonarQube internally uses the SQALE methodology to compute the technical debt ratio and to classify the project to a SQALE rating. Based on the outstanding remediation cost, the project is rated from A to E according to the following rules: Technical Debt (TD) Ratio <=10%, the rating is A.

What is added debt in SonarQube?

In the simplest sense, Technical Debt is a measure of compromise in the quality of code done to make up for quick delivery schedules. However, when this debt accumulates over time, it can make the overall code quality suffer, increasing the risk of performance problems and errors.

What is Sqale rating in Sonar?

The SQALE Rating is a direct correlation with the Technical Debt Ratio of your project. The Technical Debt Ratio is the following: The technical debt of your project (= sum of the debt of all issues) Divided by the estimation of the cost to rewrite your application from scratch.

What are vulnerabilities in SonarQube?

Vulnerabilities SonarQube provides detailed issue descriptions and code highlights that explain why your code is at risk. Just follow the guidance, check in a fix and secure your application.

Does SonarQube run unit tests?

SonarQube doesn’t run your tests or generate reports. To include coverage results in your analysis, you need to set up a third-party coverage tool to generate reports and configure SonarQube to import those reports.

What is maintainability rating in SonarQube?

For Maintainability the rating is based on the ratio of the size of the code base to the estimated time to fix all open Maintainability issues: <=5% of the time that has already gone into the application, the rating is A. between 6 to 10% the rating is a B. between 11 to 20% the rating is a C.

How do I fix problem in SonarQube?

If you want to apply the same resolution to a big number of issues, you can use the Bulk Change feature (introduced in SonarQube 3.7 LTS). In your particular case, you could also define issue exclusion rules to prevent these issues from being raised on selected parts of the code (introduced in SonarQube 4.0).

Is SonarQube a DAST tool?

There is a separate SAST tool released by OWASP team named “OWASP SonarQube”. This is developed using the sonarqube tool, but as a SAST tool. This tool can be integrated with your project build same as the SonarQube integration. So if you are familiar with SonarQube, it will be a straightforward move.

Does SonarQube use JaCoCo?

SonarQube is used in integration with JaCoCo, a free code coverage library for Java.

How is the SQALE rating calculated?

What does The SQALE mean?

What is the quality model of SQALE?

The SQALE method’s quality model takes the software’s lifecycle into account. The method is based on 4 main concepts: The SQALE Quality Model is used for formulating and organising the non-functional requirements that relate to the code’s quality. It is organised in three hierarchical levels.

What is SQALE Quality Index (SQI)?

This derived measurement is called: SQALE Quality Index: SQI For the AGILE Software Development, the SQI index correspond to the design debt (or technical debt) of the project. The method also defines index densities which allow comparing the products quality of different size (for example SQID: SQALE Quality Density Index).
