What’s new

Devs can now enjoy faster CFamily PR and Branch analysis on SonarQube Cloud following the deployment of the server-side cache mechanism announced a couple of days ago.

Now, by default, there is a cache on the server side that helps to speed up all your analysis. For it to work, you need to have configured your branch (Branch Analysis Setup | SonarQube Cloud Docs) and your pull request analysis ( Pull Request Analysis | SonarQube Cloud Docs) on SonarQube Cloud.

We are excited to announce that you can now scan your Dockerfiles with SonarQube Cloud!

Today we've enabled faster pull (merge) request analysis for all languages*.

Before, when a branch or a pull request was scanned, the analysis included all the files in your repository to ensure accuracy and only raise true positives. Now, on pull requests, only the content in the PR is scanned using an analysis methodology that minimizes the false positive rate.

On average, you can expect your pull request analysis to finish at least 50% faster however, it can be more depending on the size and language(s) in your pull requests.
