Products have emerged over the years to address the problem of code maintenance, including the cloud-based code quality management service SonarSource.
SonarSource announced that it raised $412 million in a funding round co-led by Advent International and General Catalyst at a $4.7 billion valuation.
SonarSource CEO Olivier Gaudin says organizations across all industries have long understood that software is critical to running their businesses.
Gaudin says he launched SonarSource to enable developers to administer best code quality practices that, in theory, could help to fix problematic code.
