Comparing Quality Profiles

Must-share information (formatted with Markdown):

  • which versions are you using - SonarQube Server / Enterprise edition 2025.1.2.108896
  • how is SonarQube deployed: zip
  • what are you trying to achieve: Find the details of Quality Profile comparison results
  • what have you tried so far to achieve this:

Viewing the custom quality profile that is our standard for the HTML language, and using the compare menu option to compare with the Sonar Way profile, results in 1 additional and 1 fewer rule (okay) and then 15 rules with a “different configuration”. It is clear for four of these rules that the severity is different; but for the other 11 rules it is not clear WHAT the difference is.
How do we determine what the different configurations of these rules are in these profiles?

Hi,

If you drill into those rules, I believe you’ll find that they’re parameterized and that the different profiles have different parameter values.
