Sonar acquired Structure101 to address code structural design problems, enforce architectural constraints, manage technical debt, and improve software design. The acquisition aims to simplify code structure, increase code maintainability, and make code easier to evolve over time. Structure101, a boutique Irish code structure analysis pioneer, led by Chris Chedgey since 1999, focuses on software architecture, contrasting Sonar's bug detection capabilities
The integration will enable technical leads to define and enforce architectural constraints, initially for Java, with plans to extend to over 30 programming languages by early 2025. Structure101's visual representations of code dependencies will be crucial in helping developers improve code maintainability and reduce long-term costs. ```https://www.bankinfosecurity.com/sonar-adds-code-architecture-insights-structure101-buy-a-26538
