Easy SAST in your IDE

Reviewed on 2022/12/18

Pros

SonarLint allows users to customize the rules that are used to analyze their code, making it possible to tailor the tool to the needs of specific project. It integrates with popular IDEs such as Eclipse and Visual Studio, making it easy to use within a developer's existing workflow. The reports include the location of the issue and a description of the problem. SonarLint includes code snippets and examples to help developers understand and fix the issues that have been identified which I find very useful.

Cons

Setting up SonarLint can be time-consuming, as it requires installing the tool and configuring it for each specific project. As it happens with all SAST tools, SonarLint only performs static code analysis, meaning it cannot identify issues that may arise during runtime.

After submitting my first merge request to the supervisor in my first company, I was asked whether I have check the code smells. I said no and then I was asked to add sonar-lint plugin to my IDE, then check the code issues and finally send him the merge request once I fix all those issues. Since that moment I use this everyday to check issues in the code that I daily write.

Pros

This identifies code smells, security issues, bugs and gives suggestions to fix them as well. By using this, developers can release a bug free quality code to the repository and also without knowing that will become a daily practice which is very good for a developer and the company as well.

Cons

I found some warnings and I though those are not actually issues to be fixed. So I think not all the warnings that the plugin show are important to be fixed.

One of the best plugin out there

One of the best tools out there in the market.

One of the best tools out there in the market.

Pros

1) I did use the plugin version of SonarLint. We integrated it with Eclipse, Pycharm and Visual Code2) The tool is extremely configurable as in we can set the rules-based settings for our organization and/or team3) The best part of the plugin is that we can find the suggestions/bug detection at the development time so that there is no need to redevelop and deploy the code4) Another best thing about the product is that it helps mitigate vulnerabilities in the code, keeping the user and the code base up to date. Allows users to learn the best development practices and improves the readability of the code

Cons

1) I liked almost everything when I was using it is Eclipse and Pycharm.2) However, I found it a bit slow in response and cumbersome to use in VS code. It might be my personal opinion but I did find it slow.

Pros

It helps to improve our coding standard especially for less experienced people. It helps to avoid more issues from higher environment after code deployment

Cons

It will take some time for new users to gel with this tool but it can not be considered as a disadvantage
