Sonar way BUILT-IN quality profile is missing some rules

[Colin]

Hey there.

While there are 415 rules total (in the latest version of SonarQube), only 271 rules (in SonarQube v9.2.4) are included in the built-in Sonar Way Quality Profile.

Take a look at this post to learn more about how we decide what rules go in the built-in profile.

How is it decided a rule goes into sonar way profiles or not?

Hey there. These are rules are determined as no-brainers – applying to nearly every kind of project non-controversial – not heavily contested non-conflicting – one rule won’t override another in the profile (often the case with style-based rules, like where brackets go) low number of false-positives (won’t be noisy for developers) Of course, humans make these determinations so those decisions can also be challenged. And, these profiles serve most of our users pretty well.
