Sonargraph - An Essential Tool for Software-Architects

Keep Control Of Your Architecture

As systems grow, they often become harder to manage. Teams lose track of the original architecture. Unwanted dependencies pile up. Code becomes harder to change. Development slows. Bugs multiply. This is called architectural erosion — and it affects nearly every system over time. Sonargraph helps you to stay in control. It lets you define clear rules for architecture and code quality. These rules are automatically checked on every scan or build. You always know if your code still matches the structure you intended. No guessing. Fewer manual reviews. Just fast, continuous feedback you can trust

Cut Long-Term Costs And Reduce Technical Debt

Without structure, systems become fragile. Fixes take longer. Bugs hide in complexity. Developers waste time just trying to understand how things work. This is how technical debt grows, and it slows down your entire team. Sonargraph will stop the accumulation of technical debt by detecting issues early and enforcing your architecture and quality rules automatically. It is also helping with ongoing refactorings (which can be simulated in Sonargraph) and cleanup. Teams using Sonargraph report less complexity, fewer bugs, higher productivity and lower maintenance costs — often within the first few months.

Improve Developer Productivity Across The Team

Clean architecture makes development faster, easier and safer. When code is well-structured, developers spend less time trying to understand code, can change it with lower risk, write better tests and can onboard new team members faster. Sonargraph gives developers a real-time, visual map of the system. It points out where problems are — and what needs to be fixed. That clarity leads to better decisions, faster work and fewer regressions over time.

Get Full Visibility Into Code Structure And Quality

Most teams lack a reliable way to measure and monitor code structure. Sonargraph fixes that. It provides visibility for code structure, code smells, cyclic dependencies, architecture violations and code metrics. You can use Sonargraph to monitor the quality of your code over time. You can also use it to measure the quality of your architecture. This gives you a clear picture of where your system is going wrong and how to fix it.

Free Online Assessments

Want to see the power of Sonargraph live? We offer free online assessments of your software. All you need to do is book a demo and get a free evaluation license. Then we can run Sonargraph on your system and can show you how to uncover a lot of interesting findings in just minutes. And of course we will keep all findings confidential and also sign an NDA, when requested.

Empower Your Developers

Developers enjoy creating well-structured and high-quality software. The problem is that this is very hard to do without tool support, especially for larger teams implementing complex systems. Sonargraph will help your team to reach the next level. This will improve developer happiness and productivity while reducing team stress and developer burnout.

FAQ

How long does it take to learn how to use Sonargraph efficiently?

An experienced architect or lead-developer will need one or two days to learn how to use the tool efficiently. The first useful results will be available within minutes.

How can you be so sure about the benefits of Sonargraph?

We founded this business in 2005 and have quite a few customers who use Sonargraph for 10 years or more. They have achieved significant improvements. Also, decades of project experience have taught us the power of clean architecture, clean code and proper modularization.

Can you help us with rollout and training?

Absolutely. We provide on-demand services that range from training to project rollout. If needed, we also can provide software-architecture services, where we help you to untangle monolithic legacy systems or design architectural models for new systems.

How can you optimize the value Sonargraph provides?

Automation is key. After designing a quality- and architecture model you should add Sonargraph-Build to your continuous integration pipeline. Then you can configure automated build failures if certain rules are violated.

How do you monitor long-term metric trends and architectural fitness functions?

That is the role of Sonargraph-Enterprise.

Will my code stay on premise?

Sonargraph runs as a standalone tool on the machine of a developer or on one of your build servers. It will never send code to an outside server.
