Sonar Vs Jenkins

Question

Can we compare Jenkins and Sonar ? If yes how. I want to know advantage/disadvantage of Jenkins and Sonar. Like why one should use Sonar and what advantage it has over Jenkins and vice versa?

Solution

Can we compare Jenkins and Sonar?

No.

Jenkins is a tool to implement Continuous Integration. The quick summary of which is integrating, building and testing code every time a change is made.

Sonar is "a tool for managing code quality." It focuses on analyzing code.

BTW, as a note that they play different roles in development, there is a Jenkins Plugin for integrating with Sonar. See the discussion here: Why use sonar plugin for Jenkins rather than simply use maven goal "sonar:sonar"?
