Is SonarQube a SAST tool?

Question

Could someone tell me whether SonarQube is a SAST tool?

Answer 1

Yes, SonarQube is a Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tool. SAST is the process of analyzing source code and binaries of applications. And the test conducted is static, that is when the code is not running and is at rest, the analysis takes place.
