In this chapter, we learned how to install and configure SonarQube and Artifactory. In today's world, static code analysis forms an important part of the CI pipeline (although it is not necessary). Similarly, Artifactory is a popular tool used to store all the build artifacts that are generated by the CI pipeline. Once the CI pipeline is complete, Artifactory take the center stage. It is from Artifactory that all the built artifacts are deployed to various testing environments, and it is with Artifactory that we perform code promotion.
We will learn more about these tools in the next chapter, which is about implementing continuous integration using Jenkins.
