Live example If you want to see a live example of the capabilities of the C# plugins ecosystem, you can have a look at the analysis of the MyBatis.Net project on Nemo.

Description / Features

The C# plugins ecosystem is a set of Sonar plugins used to monitor the quality of .NET software written in the C# language.

Installation

Usage

Run a Sonar Analysis with the Sonar Runner (Recommended Way)

1. Create a Sonar file for your solution
   

   • A very simple one can be:
   • Place it in the same folder as the Solution file (".sln")
2. If you don't want to use the default settings of a plugin, you can override them
   
   • See the C# plugins options to know more about this.
3. You can also use the sample application available from GitHub. Both config flavors are available in this sample. You can choose to use the sonar-project.properties file (recommended) or the maven pom.xml file.

Run a Sonar Analysis with Maven

TODO

Support of preprocessing instructions by the parserRoadmap

• Branch coverage support
• Rules engine built on the squid parser
• Design metrics such as LCOM4
• Mutation testing using OpenMutate
