Introduction

Your introduction to understanding how to use quality profiles in SonarQube Server.

Quality profiles are a key part of your SonarQube configuration. A quality profile defines, for a given language, the set of coding rules to be applied during analysis.

The built-in Sonar way quality profiles are provided: Sonar way core, Sonar way extended, and Sonar way comprehensive. See Built-in quality profiles for details on each. As a quality profile administrator, you can create your own custom quality profiles to meet your coding analysis needs.

This section explains the quality profile concept in the Sonar solution, how to retrieve and view quality profiles and, for quality profile administrators, how to manage their custom quality profiles.
