What is Code Scanning?
Code scanning is a technique used in software development to automatically identify potential issues in code. It helps developers identify and fix bugs, security vulnerabilities, and other issues early in the development process, before they can cause problems in production.
Sonar
Sonar works by analyzing source code and looking for patterns that are indicative of potential issues. It then generates reports that highlight these issues and provide suggestions for how to fix them.
Sonar is a popular open-source code scanning tool that can be used to identify a wide range of code issues, including:
Bugs
Discover code errors, design flaws and improper data handling faster.
Security Vulnerabilities
Highlight known and unknown vulnerabilities with Sonar code scanning.
Dead and Duplicate code
Discover code that is never executed before it
