JAVA code quality & security
Static code analysis tools for your Java
Static code analysis for Java that detects bugs, code smells, and security vulnerabilities—right in your PRs and IDE.

Your passion is Java, our passion is integrated code quality and security
Sonar static code analysis helps you build secure, maintainable, high-quality Java software. Covering popular build systems, standards, and versions, Sonar elevates your coding standards while keeping dangerous security vulnerabilities at bay.

Latest Java standards
With each Java version, we create dedicated static analysis rules so you learn shiny, new features and avoid pitfalls.
Own the code security of your Java
Reduce security risk in Java with taint-analysis detection aligned to OWASP Top 10 and CWE Top 25 standards.
- Taint analysis finds real source→sink injection flows across files and functions.
- Standards mapping to OWASP and CWE for auditor-friendly reporting.
- Vulnerabilities covered: SQLi, XSS, command injection, deserialization, SSRF.

SonarQube code analysis finds issues while you focus on the work
