https://www.coachdevops.com/2021/01/h...

SonarQube allows you to create quality gate to force the build to fail if some conditions are not met during code analysis.

What we will learn in this lab?

1. Learn how to setup a quality gate in SonarQube
2. How to force the build to fail in Jenkins when quality gate conditions are met?

Quality gates
In SonarQube a quality gate is a set of conditions that must be met in order for a project to be marked as passed.

Let us learn how to create quality gates in SonarQube and integrate with Jenkins during code scan.

Pre-requisites
