SonarQube Community Build | Instance administration | Global analysis setup | Choosing a mode for your instance | Overview
Overview
Your SonarQube Community Build instance has two modes: Standard Experience Mode and Multi-Quality Rule (MQR) Mode.
New SonarQube Community Build instances use MQR Mode by default. Upon upgrading, existing SonarQube Community Build 10.1 and earlier are configured with the Standard Experience by default.
- Standard Experience Mode: Standard Experience mode encompasses the use of rule types such as bugs, code smells, and vulnerabilities, with a single type and severity level for each rule. This approach focuses on assigning severity to a rule based on the single software quality (e.g. security, reliability, or maintainability) it has the largest impact on.
- Multi-Quality Rule Mode: MQR Mode aims to more accurately represent the impact an issue has on all software qualities. It does this by assigning a separate severity to a rule for each software quality it might impact. This approach focuses on ensuring the impact on all software qualities is clear, not just the one most severely impacted.
Instance administrators can set or update the mode by navigating to Administration > Configuration > Mode.
Both the MQR and Standard Experience modes are compatible with SonarQube for IDE.
