How to Use SonarQube with Jenkins

The SonarQube community is active and provides continuous upgrade, plug-ins, and customization information on regular intervals. Further, it is a healthy practice to intermittently run SonarQube on the source code to fix code quality violations and reduce the technical obligation.
SonarQube allows the developers to track code quality which helps the developers to determine if a project is ready to be deployed in production.
