+# Code analysis
+
+The `run-coverage.sh` script runs maven with the **codecoverage** profile
+which generates the test coverage data for the java classes.
+If the required parameters are given it also runs the sonar code analysis
+and uploads the results to the given SonarQube Server.
+
+## Running code analysis
+
+After running the script the reports generated by the JaCoCo code coverage
+library can be found in the modules under the `/target/site/jacoco/` folder.
+
+Here is how you can generate the code coverage report:
+
+```./dev/code-coverage/run-coverage.sh```
+
+## Publishing coverage results to SonarQube
+
+The required parameters for publishing the results to SonarQube are:
+
+- host URL,
+- login credentials,
+- project key
+
+The project name is an optional parameter.
+
+Here is an example command for running and publishing the coverage data:
+
+`./dev/code-coverage/run-coverage.sh -l ProjectCredentials
+-u https://exampleserver.com -k Project_Key -n Project_Name`
