Hi there,

I am trying SonarCloud here and I am but confused about the Quality Gate.

It shows green “Passed” even though some unit tests have been failed and others had errors.

I try to see if there is any “settings” but I can’t find anywhere to confirm/change the Quality Gate parameters.

Hi @rafael-trevisan

Yes, Quality Gate is not meant to be based on the unit tests results (we assume that you will break a build anyhow before actually doing a SonarCloud analysis on that code). This can be based on the code coverage however.

Please see our doc for more information :

- [Quality Gate](https://sonarcloud.io/documentation/user-guide/quality-gates/)
- [Quality Profile](https://sonarcloud.io/documentation/user-guide/quality-profiles/)

HTH,
