Featured Reviews

Nghiêm Phương - PeerSpot reviewer
A solution for static code review and Blackhawk testing.
We have automation capabilities with Parasoft Jtest integrated into our CI/CD pipeline. This allows us to provide suggestions for improving code quality within the CI/CD process, which developers find beneficial, similar to using Cisco products. Parasoft Jtest is more than just a tool for scanning code. It offers comprehensive automated testing capabilities. It automatically scans the code on the server and generates reports for developers and project managers. They can then review the findings remotely and collaborate on addressing any issues identified. Parasoft Jtest connects to OpenAI, suggesting how to fix the code. I recommend the solution. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
Sthembiso Zondi - PeerSpot reviewer
Consistent improvements in code quality and security with effective integration and reliable technical support
The features of SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) that I find most useful are the suggestions received from reviewing the code. When they review the code, they provide suggestions on how to fix it, and we find those very useful from a development perspective. We use SonarQube Server's (formerly SonarQube) centralized management and visualization of code quality metrics on the dashboard because that's the executive dashboard that we send to the executives to show where we are in terms of quality, security, and where the company can improve. We use that for organizational improvement purposes. The ability to tailor metrics tracking in SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) has been beneficial to my team. There are team-specific dashboards which are related to specific repositories they utilize, and we have that aggregative dashboard that shows the whole organization's performance. We can drill down per specific repository, which makes it easier for the team to improve specific things.
