Sonargraph Product Family

Sonargraph-Explorer

Sonargraph-Explorer is a free simple static analysis tool with a focus on metrics, cycle group detection and simple dependency analysis. It can be used for free even on commercial projects. It supports Java and Kotlin, Python 3, TypeScript and C#. More languages might be added in the future.

To run it you simply download Sonargraph-Architect and then request your free license. Your license key determines the set of available features. the free license also supports the use of Sonargraph-Build. This would allow you to break the build if metric thresholds are violated or if cyclic dependency groups grow over a user defined limit.

In contrast to its commercial brother Sonargraph-Architect this product variant does NOT include the following features:

  • Cycle View
  • Exploration View
  • Architectural View
  • Architecture DSL
  • Duplicate Code Checker
  • 2D and 3D Tree Maps
  • Version Control Metrics
  • Architecture Diagrams
  • Scripting (create your own metrics or code checkers via Groovy scripts)
  • Virtual Refactorings
  • Plugins (PMD, Spotbugs etc.)
  • Baselines and Quality Gates
  • Issue Ranking View
