Task 1

• I downloaded the zip file of the code

• upziped it and pasted the code into a new folder and opened the folder using Visual Studio Code

Task 3. Create and run an Azure Build Pipeline for the solution

• Go to pipeline

I added Sonar cloud plugin to the organistaion I then went to https://www.sonarsource.com/products/sonarcloud/ to handle configurations

SonarCloud performs static code analysis, identifying potential bugs, vulnerabilities, and code smells, allowing you to address them early in the development process. By integrating SonarCloud into your CI/CD pipeline, you can ensure that your code meets industry standards and best practices, ultimately improving the overall quality and security of your software.

• get a PAT token for the sonarcloud intergation
• Intergtrated a service connection with sonarcloud
  

• Let's build and add sonar cloud to othe agent job

• set the jobs up
