SonarQuest is a gamification tool extending SonarQube, that allows developers to get rid of their code quality issues in a playful way by solving quests and adventures, earning rewards for refactoring code smells and optimization.
Quick Start
Install
Start your adventure with your team in 3 steps via Docker:
- Clone this repo in a destination of your choice.
- Run SonarQuest using Docker in the root project folder sonarquest:
docker-compose up. (This will install the latest Docker images) - We added some initial users to play around with. Open SonarQuest at http://localhost:4200 and login with the following credentials:
| Role | Username | Password |
|---|---|---|
| Admin | admin | test |
| Game Master | gm | test |
| Developer (Player) | dev | test |

Start the game
- Log in as admin.
- Connect to any reachable SonarQube server and check the connection.
- Get all the projects on SonarQube into SonarQuest and make a single project playable as a “world”.
- Assign a game master and players to this world.
- Log in as predefined game master or add a new game master.
- Get all issues aka tasks for the current world.
- Create quests by writing a short story and add tasks to make them solvable.
- (Optionally) create an adventure and add quests to it to support a whole story.
- Get your players to log in (all pre-made avatars have the password test and their username as login) and take on your quests by selecting to fight in a quest and to fight issues in the quests.
- Login in as a game master from time to time to synchronize SonarQuest with the SonarQube project to have SonarQuest pay out rewards to your players!
Have fun!
