SQ 8.6
The contraction “it’s” is sometimes used where the possessive pronoun “its” is required, in the rule description field mdDesc:
java:S1149 - “… before using it, since it’s usage can be tricky …”
java:S4787,javascript:S4787,typescript:S4787 - “… it’s IV (Initialization Vector) is not generated …”
Why is this an issue?
Grammatically incorrect sentences are harder to read and slow down the user.
Non-compliant example:
it’s IV (Initialization Vector) is not generated
Compliant example:
its IV (Initialization Vector) is not generated
