Sonar

The SonarQube Agent App is now available in GitHub 🚀 We're proud to be a launch day partner for GitHub Agent Apps at Microsoft Build. As AI coding agents become a bigger part of how software gets built, reliable code verification inside the workflow matters more than ever. The SonarQube Agent App puts verification right where your agents work — @-mentionable in issues and PRs, assignable to tasks, and visible in Mission Control. When invoked, it runs analysis against your existing quality profiles and gates and surfaces findings on the spot, rather than pushing verification downstream into a pipeline. For teams running multiple coding agents, it applies one consistent standard across all of them — one SonarQube instance, one set of rules, one quality gate from sandbox to merge. Developers who verify with SonarQube are 44% less likely to report outages from AI-generated code. Available now for SonarQube Cloud customers: https://bit.ly/43eEVbb

Ready to see Gitar in action? 👀 ICYMI, Gitar is the newest addition to Sonar, adding AI code review to our multilayered verification platform. On June 11 at 10am CT, we're hosting a live webinar so you can see exactly what it does. In this demo and Q&A session, you'll learn how: 🎸 Gitar automatically reviews PRs, analyzes CI failures, and pushes validated fixes directly to the branch 🎷 Gitar keeps iterating until the build is green—no fix lands unless it passes your CI pipeline 🥁 Gitar and SonarQube work together as part of the industry's first end-to-end AI code verification platform Register here 👇 https://bit.ly/4asVRi2

Wherever you code, there we are. The SonarQube plugin for GitHub Copilot CLI is now available, bringing quality gates, issue scanning, dependency risk, and secrets detection into your terminal workflow. With Agentic Analysis configured, the agent catches and fixes problems before the code ever reaches a PR — and since SonarQube's analysis is deterministic, you're getting a real verification layer, not just the LLM checking its own work. All before anything reaches a PR ⚡ Available today & configurable in minutes. Get the details: https://bit.ly/4fTWox0

The SonarQube Remediation Agent has been named "Best Innovation in AI for DevOps" at the 2026 AI TechAwards 🎉🏆 The award reflects a shift in how organizations are thinking about AI in software development. The conversation is no longer just about generating code faster, it's increasingly about what happens next: how teams fix issues, reduce manual rework, and keep code quality and security intact as AI accelerates the pace of development. The SonarQube Remediation Agent is built for exactly that. It's the Solve stage of the Agent Centric Development Cycle — autonomously fixing issues that SonarQube has already confirmed are real, with every fix verified by the same analysis engine before a developer sees it.

We're a Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ Leader! Sonar has been named a Leader in the inaugural Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Technical Debt Management Tools — recognized for both Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute. This is a new category. Gartner created it because while AI code assistants are increasingly effective at remediating code-level debt, the market is shifting toward managing architectural technical debt — debt that cuts across multiple systems or architecture layers, which is expected to account for 80% of all technical debt by 2027. SonarQube is the independent multilayered verification platform built for exactly this moment — catching quality, security, and architectural issues before they reach production, and remediating the ones that do. We believe this recognition reflects the work we've been doing and where the industry is heading. Read the full announcement: https://bit.ly/49T51nM

Sonar has been recognized as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Technical Debt Management Tools. This recognition is based on our Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. Complimentary access to the report coming soon! Learn more here: https://bit.ly/4a1tuHs

AI code review is joining the band: Sonar has acquired Gitar 🚀 AI coding tools have made every developer faster — and the volume of code being produced has never been higher. PR queues are growing, CI pipelines are filling up, and the pressure on verification has never been greater. Sonar is the platform enterprises trust to ensure AI-generated code is secure, reliable, and ready to ship. With Gitar, we're adding a critical new layer: AI code review that generates fixes, validates them against CI, and commits to the branch. The result is the most complete answer to how enterprises move fast with AI without breaking things. From the moment an AI agent starts writing to the moment code lands in the codebase, with the highest level of assurance available. We're excited to jam out with the Gitar team on the agent centric development cycle 🎸welcome to Sonar! Read the full announcement: https://bit.ly/3RikLKN

We're thrilled to be part of the conversation around the future of AI and software development this week at #ATxSummit in Singapore. One of the highlights for us was the opportunity to show our collaboration with IMDA — as a strategic design partner for SonarQube Remediation Agent — and the role Singapore continues to play in shaping practical, trustworthy approaches to AI-driven development. Thanks to everyone who met with us at Asia Tech x Singapore and celebrated our innovation! For more on SonarQube Remediation Agent, read here: https://bit.ly/4nOIMoY

AI agents struggle with messy code. 🧠 Just like we do. Poorly written code is cognitively expensive for humans — deep nesting, god methods, cryptic names, your brain keeps re-reading the same lines, trying to hold too much at once. Turns out, AI coding agents have the exact same problem. https://lnkd.in/dMUtFdqm A study  just published by Olivier Schmitt and Priyansh Trivedi at Sonar ran 660 trials of Claude Code across carefully controlled repository pairs: same architecture, same behavior, same tests. The only variable? Code cleanliness. The result? Clean code didn't change whether the agent solved the task. But it radically changed how it worked: → 7–8% fewer tokens consumed → 34% fewer file revisitations That last number is the telling one. File revisitation is what happens when the agent edits a file, moves on, then comes back — a behavioral signature of uncertainty. The same loop a developer falls into when the code doesn't make its intent and structure clear. We have spent years at Sonar working hard and arguing that maintainability principles aren't just about developer experience — they're about correctness, reliability, and ultimately cost of software. This study adds a new dimension: clean code is now (also) directly an AI efficiency lever. The tools changed. The problem didn't. And we are more committed than ever to solve it at Sonar!
