SonarQube Developer tool
Code-quality and security analysis across 40+ languages, now extended with AI features that check both human- and AI-written code: AI CodeFix suggests context-aware fixes, AI Code Assurance flags AI-generated code against quality gates, Sonar Vortex verifies code as an agent writes it, and the SonarQube Remediation and Hunter Agents clear backlog and hunt logic-based security flaws.
-
SonarQube Remediation Agent AI agent
Agent assigned whole categories of SonarQube backlog issues that generates fixes in parallel with a chosen LLM, re-scans each fix in a sandbox with Sonar's analysis engine, and opens pull requests only for fixes that pass.
-
SonarQube Hunter Agent AI agent
AI security agent that runs playbooks of specialised prompts across a SonarQube project to find broken access control, business-logic and authentication flaws that pattern-based analysis misses, validating exploitability before raising an issue.
