The tool can help you define custom rules, in addition to the common code smell patterns, externalize these rules and have the flexibility to apply them to the code at the project level, department level and at the enterprise level.  

The SonarQube is an open-source service that can scan code in 25+ languages and generates reports of smells, vulnerabilities, and bugs. It provides a beautiful dashboard scanning data where we can analyze our code quality.
