Down your Technical Debt with
About me
Agenda • Code Quality (what, why, when and how?) •
The seven axes of quality • Technical Debt • SonarQube Introduction • Demo time
private String _ugly_name; private String ANOTHER_$UGLY___NAME; private static String am_i_static;
public void please_work(ArrayList objects){ for (Object object : objects){ if (object == null){ String toString = object.toString(); } else am_i_static = object.toString(); doSomething(object); } } private void doSomething(Object object) throws NullPointerException { throw new NullPointerException(object.toString()); }
What is code quality?
What is code quality? “It’s an indicator about how quickly
developers can add business value to a software system”
Why measure? Source code is the heart of every system
Why measure? Developers don't write “new” software. They maintain “legacy”
systems.
Why measure? We, the developers are lazy monkeys
The broken window theory
When it's the right time to measure • From project's
day #0 • Continuosly • Prevention vs post-actions • Prioritize and plan
What we should measure; • Abstract numbers? (Almost) useless •
Evolution through time? Definitely! • Metrics? Yes but which ones? • Welcome to the seven deadly sins of developers
The seven axes of quality
The seven axes of quality Design Duplications Documentation Com plexity
Unit Tests Coding rules Potential Bug Technical Debt
Technical Debt “If the debt grows large enough, eventually the
company will spend more on servicing its debt than it invests in increasing the value of its other assets” Steve McConnell (Author of code complete)
This is how the source code looks like when we
don't pay off technical debt
“Good” & “Bad” Technical Debt
What is SonarQube; • Free & open source “Code Quality
Platform” • Provides moment-in-time quality snapshots • Gives trends of lagging and leading indicators • Tracks developers’ seven deadly sins
How it works? Reads and analyzes source code files Computes
hundreds of metrics Associates them with analysis snapshots and stores them Shows the results in dashboards and widgets accessible by any browser
SonarQube for everything... • Initially designed for Maven Java projects
• Today supports more than 20 languages Commercial : ABAP, C, C++, Cobol, Natural, PL/SQL, Visual Basic Open Source : C++, C#, Flex, Groovy, Android, Javascript, PHP, Python, XML, Web(xhtml, jsp , jsf), Erlang
For testers / QA stuff. Which parts of the system
lack unit testing? … and for everyone For developers. Is my code “good”? How can I improve For architects. Is the initial design “broken”? How about complexity? For managers. Give me the numbers!!! Are we going up or down?

DEMO TIME
The big picture Track and reduce Technical Debt on an
ongoing basis. (Clean up kitchen every day)
The big picture Engage all devs from day #1 (Not
only mums wash the dishes )
I have a dream… ...that one day code quality management
will be as much as important and essential is today source code management
