Sonar helps developers to build a better website

Microsoft’ s Sonar, a linting tool and site scanner released last week could help developers build more effective and secure websites. Sonar is a linting tool and site scanner that is developed as a better way for website maintainers to check performance and security issues.

Sonar’ s predecessor was created by Microsoft as a static scan tool within its web browser in 2013. After failing to update with the prefixes and outdated libraries, it was left out. Now Sonar took over the field. It has a set of rules that are capable of parallel test execution and integration with services.

" Sonar will ease the adoption of Microsoft' s tooling and Azure for the community," said Akshay Aggarwal, CEO of PeachTech and COO of Deja Vu Security. However, " it is unlikely to move the needle on security significantly," he told.

Sonar works as same as security tools with development integration with development. Sonar can perform for baseline assessments for security and to identity components with known vulnerabilities.

Sonar can also be used a command-line tool (CLI) tool and integrated the tool directly to the website’ s URL. Sonar’ s rules are written by using the best practices for the Web. The five key rules categories to check a site for accessibility, interoperability with different browsers, performance for fast page load times, progressive web apps and security.

Sonar can be used extensively in each and every website. But the analysis lies with the developer and web designer to translate the analysis and actions to be taken.

In other words, I do not see it as necessary for your ' non- customized GoDaddy Wordpress site,' David Rosenthal, VP of digital business technology solutions for Razor Technology told in his interview, but it is " absolutely valuable for larger and more complex websites with programming, third-party extensions," .
