Presentations

Continuous Inspection

The Job of a developer has evolved strongly in the last 10 years, pushed by new requirements and new tools. Software Development Industry has now reached a sufficient level of maturity to engage into a new practice to manage source code quality while running projects : Continuous Inspection.

This practice is supported by Sonar as Continuous Integration is supported by Hudson. Continuous Inspection enables developer to fight back the temptation of the seven deadly sins of the developer. Sonar enables to declare war to those sins.

Continuous Inspection with Sonar

Continuous Inspection is an emerging practice to manage source code quality. This practice has a single objective : keep the technical debt associated to source code under control throughout time.

The requirements relate to unit tests, duplications, complexity, design, coding standards...
In this workshop, you will learn how to use Sonar and its ecosystem of plugins to support this practice.
