December 15, 2011 - The SonarSource’s SQALE product is a full implementation of the SQALE (Software Quality Assessment based on Lifecycle Expectations) methodology developed by Inspearit (formerly DNV ITGS).

This method contains both a Quality Model and an Analysis Model. The SQALE Quality Model conforms to ISO/IEC 9126 with its underlying structured set of characteristics and sub-characteristics.

This new 1.4 version comes with two new widgets :
* The first widget allows to quickly determine the effort required to decrease the risk associated to an application by removing all violations above a severity level  
* The second widget displays the hotspot of files with the worst remediation cost

Trial version and documentation are available in the product page: http://www.sonarsource.com/plugins/plugin-sqale/overview
