Software Quality Results

Software Quality Results display scan details from SonarQube scans configured on your GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or Harness pipelines.

Software Quality Results

You can configure SonarQube scan results from your GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, and Harness pipelines to be fetched into ServiceNow DevOps. SonarQube notifications create inbound events which are then processed by base system subflows associated with all inbound events with Software Quality capability.

After you have configured SonarQube scans on your pipelines and configured the corresponding plugins, run the pipelines to fetch software quality scan results into ServiceNow DevOps. You can view the scan results by Scan ID for each SonarQube scan that was part of your build or release pipeline execution steps.

Note: For Harness pipelines, you can configure SonarQube scans only through the generic Docker Container Image. For more information, Implement custom actions for pipelines using a generic Docker container image. For GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps, you can either use the corresponding plugins from the marketplace or the Docker container image.
