What is the difference between code analysis and sonar?

Question

I have a set of rules defined for Visual Studio Code Analysis and I also configured them in Sonar (http://www.sonarqube.org/). I get different results.

Why?

Code Analysis uses FxCop ? In Sonar I can configure FxCop.

Answer 1

Well, the reason is simple: these are different tools, with different features and capabilities...

In SonarQube, you can configure the quality profile (= rule set) that you want to apply on your project when you analyse it. This rule set is probably very different from the one available in Visual Studio Code Analysis.
