Developers describe SonarLint as "An IDE extension to detect and fix issues as you write code". It is an IDE extension that helps you detect and fix quality issues as you write code Like a spell checker, it squiggles flaws so that they can be fixed before committing code.. On the other hand, SonarQube is detailed as "Continuous Code Quality". SonarQube provides an overview of the overall health of your source code and even more importantly, it highlights issues found on new code. With a Quality Gate set on your project, you will simply fix the Leak and start mechanically improving.
