So, I’d talk a bit about SonarLint, which is simply a linter that helps developers with detecting and fix quality issues on the go. So, in a very simple sense, SonarLint automatically shows you where and what exactly are the issues with your code, against professional quality coding standards, practices and conventions as of a spell checker. So, its purpose is to give instantaneous feedback about how and what you code as you type in your code.

But, typically in the case of undergraduate projects, code quality is something that is typically dusted under the mat wh
