Abstract
Software quality is of vital importance in software development projects. It influences every aspect of the system such as the functionality, reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety. In critical software projects, quality assurance has to be considered at each level of the initial concept to the software engineering process: from specification to coding and integration. At the lowest coding level, there are several tools that enable the monitoring and control of software quality. One of them is SonarQube, an open source quality management platform, used to analyse and measure technical quality. I can be extended through plugins for customization and integration with other tools. The specific conception and development of these plugins is a significant design effort that ensures the correct handling of the different phases involved in the software quality process. We present an initial design and development of an integrated analyser component for extending the functionality of the open source framework for software quality management.
