AI code quality

Vibe, then verify

Ensure code quality and security in the era of AI. Despite widespread adoption, 96% of developers don't fully trust AI-generated code—yet less than half consistently verify the output. Download the report to see how this gap is creating new technical debt and what engineering teams are doing to regain control.

Risks of AI-generated code

AI coding tools are exponentially increasing the quantity of code being created. This code will be more difficult to manage, and strain the review bandwidth of the developers accountable for its quality. The gap between them is the engineering productivity paradox.

Mind the gap

AI accelerates coding speed, but engineer time to verify it is limited. This gap limits productivity and adds risk.

Lack of trust in AI code

Developers are often concerned about the stability and security of AI-generated code, especially if it’s complex or unfamiliar.

Hidden security flaws

AI models can introduce subtle security vulnerabilities or hard-to-detect errors that expose your organization to risk.

Inconsistent standards

Ensuring that AI-generated code consistently follows your team’s coding standards and best practices is a major challenge.

Developer Survey report

Based on our survey of over 1,100 developers, our newest State of Code report shows that SonarQube users report stronger ROI on AI coding. This suggests that real productivity comes from speeding up the entire development lifecycle by effectively integrating "vibe" (generation) with a robust "verify" step.
