# Implementation
For each project, the implementation looks like this:
First, you define the quality standard for your project:
* With a *quality profile*, you define the set of rules to be applied during analysis.
* With a quality gate, you define a set of conditions that the code must meet.
Then, you define what is considered *new code* in your project, adapting your configuration to the nature of your project: versioned, continuous delivery, etc.
Finally, you ensure your code is analyzed frequently and at different stages of its journey, in your IDE and your DevOps platforms.
## Improving code quality as a developer
The configuration steps described above and in the following sections are handled by project administrators. As a developer, you improve code quality by reviewing and fixing the issues detected in new code, ensuring that the quality gate is always green and that only production-ready code is merged.
To learn more about these topics, refer to the Issues, Quality gates, and Software qualities sections (see links below).
