How has AI changed your workflow? Share your story in Sonar's State of Code developer survey

TL;DR overview

• Sonar invites developers to participate in its annual developer survey, which informs the State of Code report—a data-driven study of how developers are using AI, managing code quality, and navigating technical debt.
• The survey collects insights from developers worldwide on their AI tool usage patterns, code review practices, productivity perceptions, and challenges with code security.
• Participation helps shape Sonar's product roadmap and contributes to industry-wide research that benefits the entire developer community.
• Past survey data has revealed critical insights—including the AI coding trust gap and the verification bottleneck—that have informed how SonarQube prioritizes features for AI-era development.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how we develop software. But beyond the hype, how are developers like you actually using these new tools in your daily workflows? To find out, we're kicking off our first annual State of Code developer research survey, where we’ll explore the real-world relationship between developers and AI.

Take the survey now

A crucial part of this research is understanding how much effort you typically spend reviewing, testing, and correcting the output of AI coding tools to ensure it meets your quality and project standards. Is reviewing AI-generated code more or less effort than reviewing code written by a colleague? We also want to know if your approach to code security has changed as a result of using these tools.

This survey should take you about 20 minutes to complete. And as a thank you for sharing your valuable time and insights, the first 500 responders will receive a free limited-edition "Vibe then Verify" hat from Sonar! You will also be among the first to get access to the survey report when it is published.

Thanks for helping us understand more about the way you develop software in the age of AI!

(Because of cost limitations, only survey respondents in North America and Europe are eligible for the free hat promotion. But if you live elsewhere, we'd still love your feedback and ideas!)
