Building the Agentic Software Factory with SonarQube
Building the Agentic Software Factory with SonarQube
Join us in New York on October 15th, 2026
AI writes code faster than any team can review it. More than half of developers now use AI agents every day, but the models still hallucinate, miss security context, and ignore your architecture. The writing is no longer the bottleneck. The verification is. And code is code: whoever or whatever wrote it, all of it has to be verified before it ships.
That gap is measurable. Carnegie Mellon tracked hundreds of teams adopting AI coding tools and found the speed boost fades to near zero by month three, while code complexity and static analysis warnings stay elevated long after.
Join this afternoon session with Sonar to learn more about the Agent Centric Development Cycle and how you can use it to design your own agentic software factory. You'll leave with a working framework to build out your own software factory around agentic, CI verification, and code remediation loops.
What's new since we last toured
The platform now runs across the full agentic cycle. Come see three loops working together.
Guide and verify inside the agent — Sonar Vortex.
Vortex runs inside the agent's own coding loop. It injects your architecture, standards, and security policies before the agent writes a line, then verifies every change in real time against the same engine SonarQube runs in CI. In controlled benchmarks on refactoring tasks, Vortex cut issues by up to 92% and token consumption by up to 36%.
Review and fix every pull request — Sonar + Gitar.
Gitar inspects every PR, answers questions in context, and applies fixes to keep reviews moving. It diagnoses CI failures automatically and enforces review policies you write in plain language, committing only once the build passes. It adds an AI-native review layer on top of SonarQube's deterministic, zero-trust engine.
Clear technical debt in the background — SonarQube Remediation Agent.
The agent patrols your existing codebase and opens verified, ready-to-merge pull requests. Every fix is scanned and verified by Sonar's engine before you see it.

Product ManagerWhy teams trust Sonar
Independent
A neutral, rigorous platform that holds all code to the same standard for quality and security, no matter which human or agent wrote it.
Verifiable
A zero-trust, multilayered review process that is definitive, transparent, and auditable, with an extremely low 3.2% false positive rate.
Trusted
The proof is in production. Teams trusting Sonar are 44% less likely to experience outages caused by AI-generated code.
Who should attend
As organizations pivot toward agent-led software development, the need for an independent, verification platform has never been greater. This tour proves why Sonar is the indispensable trust layer for any team building a next-generation software development toolchain.
For leadership and engineering
- Govern AI at scale. Learn how to set automated standards that let teams adopt AI coding tools safely across the organization.
- Close the verification gap. Move past legacy CI workflows to a model built for the volume and speed of agentic code generation.
- Connect code health to ROI. See how quality and security drive business agility and cut long-term debt. Gartner projects that by 2028, AI will create more architectural debt than it solves, because agents fix code-level debt but not system-wide design debt.
For developers and practitioners
- Vibe, then verify: Innovate freely with AI while holding your standards in the IDE with SonarQube for IDE.
- Real-time coaching. See Sonar work as a partner in your flow, giving automated fixes and actionable feedback as you write.
- Reduce toil. Shift from manual, repetitive reviews to automated verification, including a live look at how Gitar reviews, fixes, and commits code only once your build passes.
