New code period vs branch analysis

[red_888]

Im confused about how these 2 things work together

If I scan a branch “new” code is the new code my branch has vs the mainline branch right? so if my branch adds 4 methods and no tests sonar would see coverage of new code for my branch at 0% right?

But how does the new code period work with branch analysis? I want the new code period to be the application’s release version (not a date). If I set the new code period to the release (previous_version) will it break branch analysis?

But how does the new code period work with branch analysis?

The New Code Period setting has no effect on the analysis of short branches and pull requests, which always show code changes relative to a base branch. I hope this clears things up!
