2 Days. Minimum requirement for classroom training is 2 days along with good amunt of lab session for participants.
Our standard training sessions cover most important aspects of using the SonarQube platform as below;
Administration training | We will train your team on technical and functional administration of the application. This will enable them to run and maintain the application independently and provide the right level of support to development teams. For example, we will cover customization, integration with the existing infrastructure, security management, quality profiles, documentation, and support. |
Developer training | We will train your team on how to use SonarSource products to keep technical debt under control during software development iterations. |
Manager training | We will train your managers on how to use SonarSource products to monitor the quality of the code produced by their teams and provide support for decision making. |
Extending the SonarQube platform to meet specific needs | We will train your team regarding the various plugins that can be added to SonarSource products to fit specific needs. Examples including adding new checks, metrics, or reports. |
For the most part, every project has tasks related to code quality and software metrics. This process is usually hard to understand, tedious, and subjective to what the person reviewing the code believes is quality code. The project may compile and run as required, but developers will always ask “did we do it right?”.
Traditional testing methods rely on either the programmer or end user to identify and report bugs. This is only a piece of the puzzle as some issues are not apparent immediately. Generally, when a user reports “it is getting slow, so we had to restart” it could mean anything and restarting a server simply masks the issue.
Fortunately, there are tools such as PMD, FindBugs, HP Fortify, and SonarQube that help developers manage code quality and provide feedback on potential issues, duplicate code, and technical debt acquired. Most of the tools focus primarily on bugs and bad practices. On paper, SonarQube seems to provide a more comprehensive approach; they focus not only on bugs but also on documentation, architecture, duplication and test coverage. SonarQube is a free and open source platform used to measure code quality. It gives you a moment-in-time snapshot of your code quality as it is today as well as trending and lagging data. The best part is that it is easily integrated into JDeveloper and you can scan any type of project (SOA, Spring, JAXB, ADF, etc).
SonarQube, in theory, can scan projects written in many different programming languages including Java, C#, JavaScript, XML, and PHP. More on the languages supported can be found here. It sounds pretty amazing and easy to use, so I decided to take it for a spin to see how potentially useful it could be within FMW.
