Features
SonarSource has developed its own state of the art Cobol parser and packaged it as a Sonar product extension. It allows to perform objective and automated Cobol code reviews against pre-defined or homemade coding best practices. This product benefits from the power of the Open Source Sonar platform by reusing all available core services : Violations drilldown, Hotspots, Code viewer with syntax highlighting, TimeMachine, Clouds, Coding rule profile management, etc. This product can also be used along with the SonarSource Views product to aggregate Cobol projects and easily manage a portfolio with millions lines of code.
Key features of the product are :
- Conformance to the following standards : COBOL-74, COBOL-85 and partially COBOL-2002 (object-oriented COBOL should be fully implemented for this end of the year).
- Solidly tested against the following dialects : IBM OS/VS COBOL, IBM OS/VS COBOL II, IBM COBOL/400, IBM Enterprise COBOL, MicroFocus COBOL, AcuCobol-GT and Bull GCOS
- Analysis of SQL and CICS statements embedded inside Cobol
- 70 coding rules available, including CICS ans SQL rules
- Ability to extend the out-the-box rule engine by defining and activating custom rules
- Deactivation of false positive violations using the tag *NOSONAR in Cobol source code
- Management of the COPY and REPLACE preprocessing statements with the optional REPLACING clause
- Ability to track parsing issues by using rules violations
- Ability to automatically flag code generated by Cobol code generators like CA-Telon
- Easy usage : download the jar, start Sonar and launch mvn sonar:sonar
- Excellent performances, analyzes millions of lines of code in minutes
