SonarCloud in Your CI/CD Workflow
- Developers commit and push code to an Azure Repos Git repository.
- An Azure Pipelines build triggers the SonarCloud Scanner during the CI stage.
- The Scanner analyzes source code and uploads metrics to SonarCloud.
- SonarCloud’s dashboard visualizes issues, coverage, duplication, and technical debt.
- Feedback loops back into Azure DevOps work items and Pull Requests for quick triage.

Enable Pull Request Decoration in SonarCloud to surface quality issues directly inside Azure DevOps PRs, speeding up reviews.
