Viewing your first analysis' results

Once you have successfully followed the in-product tutorial, SonarQube Cloud will automatically run its first analysis on your project.

If you have successfully followed the in-product tutorial, SonarQube Cloud will run its first analysis on your project.

The first analysis is always a main branch analysis, an analysis of the default branch of your repository.

From now on, a new analysis will be triggered every time you make a change to the main branch by direct push, pull request merge, or branch merge.

Overview page

Once your analysis is completed a project Overview page opens, displaying the Project health dashboard, a built-in Sonar dashboard available in all plans. Custom dashboards and other built-in dashboard views are available in the Enterprise plan.

The top row of the dashboard shows:

• Quality gate status: Passed, Failed or Not Computed.

The quality gate displays Not Computed because it needs to be configured.

We strongly recommend set a new code definition by goin to Your project > Administration > New Code.

See the Quality gates and Quality standards and new code for more details. Once you set it up, push a change to the main branch. A new analysis will run, and the quality gate status will display either Passed or Failed.

• Open issues: Displays the number of issues found in the main branch.
• Duplications: Displays the percentage of main branch code that is duplicated.
• Coverage: Displays the percentage of testable code in the main branch that is covered by your test cases.

Coverage displays zero percent because it needs to be configured.

Initially, your coverage will display zero percent because it requires configuration. To set it up, see the Overview section.

Once it’s configured, push a change to the main branch to update the analysis. After the a new analysis is run, the coverage percentage will be displayed.

See Retrieving projects for more information about the Project health dashboard and other project related information.

Main branch

To view additional information about the most recent main branch analysis. Go to Your project > Summary page. Alternatively, you can go to Your project > Branches and select the main branch from the list of all the branches. See Main branch analysis for more information.

Pull Requests

In addition to analyzing your main branch every time it changes, SonarQube Cloud also analyzes individual pull requests. These analyses run when a pull request is opened and on each change to the pull request branch. This all happens before you merge, letting you catch problems before they even get to the main branch.

To view a pull request analysis go to Your project > Pull requests and select your pull request from the list. See Pull request analysis for more information.

Branches

The Branches page displays all the non-pull request branches for which you have set up analysis. Go to Your project > Branches to view the list. Initially, only the main branch is listed here. But, you can configure other branches to be analyzed. Once a branch is configured, an analysis is run on every change to that branch. See Branch analysis and Branch analysis setup for more information.
