Sonar Customer Stories | Siemens AG
See how Siemens AG uses Sonar's static analysis capabilities to maintain code quality and security governance at enterprise scale across global engineering teams.
Overview of the Partnership
Siemens AG has maintained a long-standing relationship with SonarSource, the company behind SonarQube, since 2015. The organization has leveraged SonarQube as its dedicated code quality platform, with a service manager overseeing its implementation and integration across the enterprise. This partnership represents a significant commitment to maintaining high software development standards across Siemens' operations.
From Pilot to Enterprise-Wide Implementation
Siemens' adoption of SonarQube followed a strategic approach, beginning with pilot projects within the organization to evaluate the platform's capabilities and processes. Rather than implementing the solution company-wide immediately, Siemens took time to thoroughly test the product and refine their internal workflows. This measured approach allowed the organization to validate SonarQube's effectiveness before expanding its reach across the enterprise.
Scaling to Productive Codebases
Over the years, Siemens has successfully scaled SonarQube's deployment to encompass most of its productive codebase. By continuously scanning their software with SonarQube, the organization has established a comprehensive approach to monitoring code quality across projects. This widespread implementation demonstrates Siemens' commitment to embedding quality assurance practices into their standard development operations.
Impact on Product Stability and Quality
The adoption of SonarQube has enabled Siemens to improve the overall quality of its products and ensure the stability of delivered software. By systematically scanning code throughout the development lifecycle, the organization maintains visibility into code health and addresses quality issues proactively. This focus on code quality directly contributes to the reliability and performance of Siemens' software solutions.
