Summary

The traditional software development process can be unpredictable and stressful, with unknown code quality leading to endless roller coaster rides for release teams. However, Sonar combines the Clean as You Code methodology with practical tools like SonarLint and SonarQube or SonarCloud to help developers find and fix quality issues before they get merged, resulting in a streamlined process where only green marbles (clean code) are allowed into the build machine, making it easier to determine if an app is built with clean code and making the Go/No-Go decision straightforward. This approach systematically reverses technical debt burden, improves job satisfaction, and increases employee retention, ultimately shifting left and giving developers the means to delight customers by focusing on creativity instead of digging through old code.
