Hey what you read was right, coding is a pain for some and enjoyment for some what’s your take on it lemme know, okay let’s get through this blog and discuss more…

Writing a code might sound a routine task for most of us but improving the code adds up expertise and to you profile.

A code once written needs improvement day by day of course some might not require but improving the code according to standards is a requirement,.

Standard’s what are they ?? ok don’t worry we are not experienced programmers, we gain expertise but how to improve our code standards even as a expert is there any way ??

Yep there is a way and also its free to try 😲 don’t believe it okay take a sip of coffee ☕ and sit back

SonarQube follows coding standards and best practices from multiple sources to analyze and enforce code quality in Android Kotlin projects. Some of the key sources include:

1. Kotlin Coding Conventions

• Official Kotlin Style Guide provided by JetBrains.

• Covers naming conventions, formatting, and best practices for writing clean Kotlin code.

2. Android Developer Guidelines

• Best practices recommended by Google for Android development.

• Includes performance, security, and maintainability standards.

3. Static Code Analysis Rules

• SonarQube uses detekt, a static code analysis tool specifically for Kotlin.

• Detects code smells, complexity issues, and security vulnerabilities.

4. OWASP Top 10 (Security Standards)

• Helps identify common security risks like SQL injection, insecure authentication, and code injection.

5. Custom Rules (User-Defined in SonarQube)

• Developers can define custom rules based on project-specific requirements.

How SonarQube Implements These Standards?

• Uses parsers, rule engines, and machine learning to analyze code.

  • Provides detailed reports with issues categorized as bugs, vulnerabilities, and code smells.

Okay lot of theory its time for some practicals follow the arrow and open the link to get started with a tool that can change the way you code 😌😌😌
