Coding governance

Your standards, traced to every rule that enforces them

Qualimetry holds your organisation's coding policies, principles and language standards as a managed source of truth, and links each one down to the automated rules that check it. That is the golden thread: audit-grade governance a generic scanner cannot offer.

The golden thread

From policy to automated rule, without a gap

Every automated finding traces back to a documented language standard, which upholds a principle, which implements a policy. Nothing is enforced that you did not decide.

Policy
Organisation intent
Principle
General and secure
Language standard
Per-language rules
Automated rule
Enforced every analysis
Your SonarQube / Qodana
Findings surfaced and linked

Because the chain is explicit, you can answer the questions auditors and engineering leaders actually ask: which policy does this rule serve, why is it here, and where is it being breached.

Four families, one source of truth

How your standards are organised

Author once, publish everywhere. Each family carries its own compliance view and severity model.

Policies

Policies

Organisation-level intent: the rules of engagement every team is held to.

Principles

General & Secure Principles

The guiding principles that shape good and secure engineering, split into general and secure tracks.

Standards

Language Standards

Per-language coding standards: the concrete rules of the road for each technology your teams use.

Secure

Secure Principles

Security expectations expressed as first-class principles, reviewed on every pull request.

Best practice

Industry Best Practices

Recognised good practice captured alongside your own house style, so teams have one place to look.

Traceable

Automated Rules

Each standard links to the automated rules that enforce it, so governance and analysis never drift apart.

Every standard is specific

Clear, reviewable, and impossible to misread

A standard is more than a rule id. Each one carries the context a developer needs to fix code the first time.

  • Title and severity so teams know what matters most.
  • Rationale and implications that explain why the standard exists.
  • Compliant and non-compliant examples that show the fix, not just the fault.
  • Linked automated rules with the ability to override severity or remove rules that do not apply.

Author, version, publish

Publish your standards into the SonarQube or Qodana you already run

When your standards change, Qualimetry generates and publishes Quality Profiles into your own SonarQube or Qodana instance and deep-links each rule back to the standard that owns it.

  • Version and publish standards with a full history, staged before they go live.
  • AI-assisted authoring helps draft and refine standards in your house style.
  • Findings in your own instance link straight back to the governing standard.
Compliance you can report on

See where standards hold and where they slip

Compliance is scored per repository and rolled up across the estate, broken down by policy, principle and language standard.

Questions

Standards and traceability, answered

Do we have to use Qualimetry's standards?
No. The standards are yours to define and own. Qualimetry gives you the structure, authoring tools, versioning and traceability; the content is your organisation's.
How do standards become automated checks?
Each standard links to one or more automated rules. When you publish, Qualimetry activates those rules in a Quality Profile inside your own SonarQube or Qodana instance, so analysis enforces exactly what you documented.
Can we override or exclude rules?
Yes. You can override a rule's severity or remove rules that do not apply to your context, then publish the updated standards and re-analyse the impacted projects.
How do we prove compliance?
Compliance is scored per repository and across the estate, broken down by policy, general and secure principles, and language standards, with drill-down to the specific breaches.
