We are using SonarQube 7.8 with sonar-scanner 3.3.0.1492. Our team creates a branch for each release. I want to track/visualize code coverage metric across releases. So far I understand from the documentation that you can visualize metrics across releases coming from the same long-lived branch but I would like to achieve the same with separate branches for each release.
If you want to visualize the values of different branches, you’ll need to create that visualization yourself. You can retrieve the relevant values using SonarQube’s web services (you can reach the documentation via a link in the page footer).
