Software Quality Assessment based on Lifecycle Expectations is back to SonarQube! Track your technical debt with SQALE method

Put your technical debt under control

The SQALE method has been developed to answer a generic and permanent need for assessing the quality of source code. Standards like ISO 9126 and ISO/IEC 15939 do not provide effective support for this challenge, and that's why ISO 25000 was created for. It allows: - To define clearly what creates the technical debt - To estimate correctly this debt - To analyse this debt upon technical and business perspective

Features

SQALE Rating: your project SQALE rating based on the technical debt along with the technical debt ratio and total technical debt in days. SQALE Technical Debt Pyramid: the SQALE Pyramid is certainly the most useful indicator of the SQALE method. It gives a lot of information on the nature of the technical debt and thus helps to make decisions. It helps to answer questions that often arise once you have quantified the technical debt of your application.

More features

SQALE Remediation Costs to reduce risk: provides a way to know the risk of your technical debt by severity. SQALE Sunburst: helps you to get technical debt distribution by SQALE characteristic SQALE Plugin for SonarQube™ provides default quality models used in previous versions of SonarQube™, but you can create your own SQALE quality model by "tagging" the rules with SQALE characteristics.
