Hello Visual Studio community,
The SonarQube for IDE: Visual Studio version 8.8 is out!
The release of SonarQube Server 10.8 brings new features including the introduction of two modes for issues and rules severities:
- The Standard Experience mode maintains the issue categorization (bug, vulnerability, and code smell) from SonarQube 9.9.
- The Multi-Quality Rule (MQR) mode uses the newer categorization and severities, enabling issues to have multiple qualities
Depending on the selected mode, you’ll see the changes reflected in SonarQube for IDE when in connected mode. See the screenshots below:
