Overview of this book

Previously known as Team Foundation Server (TFS), Azure DevOps Server is a comprehensive on-premise DevOps toolset with a rich ecosystem of open source plugins. This book will help you learn how to effectively use the different Azure DevOps services. You will start by building high-quality scalable software targeting .NET, .NET Core and Node.js applications. Next, you will learn techniques that will help you to set up end-to-end traceability of your code changes, from design through to release. Whether you are deploying software on-premise or in the cloud in App Service, Functions, or Azure VMs, this book will help you learn release management techniques to reduce failures. As you progress, you will be able to secure application configuration by using Azure Key Vault. You will also understand how to create and release extensions to the Azure DevOps marketplace and reach the million-strong developer ecosystem for feedback. Later, the working extension samples will even allow you to iterate changes in your extensions easily and release updates to the marketplace quickly. By the end of this book, you will be equipped with the skills you need to break down the invisible silos between your software development teams, and transform them into a modern cross-functional software development team.

Integrating SonarQube in build pipelines to manage technical debt


Technical debt can be classified as the measure between the codebase's current state and an optimal state. Technical debt saps productivity by making code hard to understand, easy to break, and difficult to validate, in turn creating unplanned work, ultimately blocking progress. Technical debt is inevitable! It starts small and grows over time through rushed changes, lack of context, and lack of discipline. Organizations often find that more than 50% of their capacity is sapped by technical debtThe hardest part of fixing technical debt is knowing where to start. SonarQube is an open source platform that is the de facto solution for understanding and managing technical debt. In this recipe, we'll learn how to leverage SonarQube in a build pipeline to identify technical debt 

Getting ready

SonarQube is an open platform to manage code quality. As such, it covers the seven axes of code quality as illustrated in the following...
