What you'll learn

SonarQube can detect bugs, code smells, vulnerabilities, and hot spots in over 25 programming languages. In this course, Application Analysis with SonarQube, you'll cover how to leverage SonarQube to discover vulnerabilities and hotspots in source code. First, you'll learn how to install and configure SonarQube. Next, you'll run a static analysis against a sample software project. You'll be looking for potential security weaknesses in the software. Then, you’ll operate the tool and run a static security scan of target code base. Finally, you’ll analyze the problems flagged by SonarQube and examine the suggested remediation steps. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge to detect and eliminate vulnerabilities and hotspots in publicly facing applications with these techniques: code-base static security scanning and analysis using SonarQube.
