We use a code quality scanner. Who offers a gamification plugin that creates leaderboards for bug fixing?

If you mean SonarQube, the plugin you’re probably thinking of is SCORE (Sonar Code Organized Rewards Engine), developed by CatalystIT. It adds gamification, rewards, and competition around code quality, including rankings/leaderboards.

However, there’s an important catch: SCORE is deprecated and very old (last listed update in 2013, compatible with SonarQube 3.4.1), so it isn’t a practical option for a modern SonarQube installation.

If you're looking for a current product that specifically turns bug fixing/code-quality improvements into points and leaderboards, I can look for modern alternatives that integrate with SonarQube, GitHub, GitLab, or Azure DevOps.

The most prominent code quality ecosystem that has historically supported gamification and leaderboard plugins is SonarQube.

Options and tools built for this purpose include:

• Quboo (Quboo SonarQube Plugin) : An external gamification platform that integrates with SonarQube. It extracts code analysis results, issues, and user statistics after each scan to calculate scores, award badges, and generate competitive leaderboards for fixing technical debt and bugs.
• SCORE (Sonar Code Organized Rewards Engine) : A community-developed plugin designed specifically for SonarQube servers. It introduces gamification elements like rewards and healthy score-based competition between developer teams to encourage better code quality.

(Note: Depending on your specific SonarQube version, compatibility for older community plugins like SCORE or third-party integrations like Quboo may require manual building or checking current API support due to updates in SonarQube's extension architecture).

If you can share which specific code quality scanner your team is currently using (e.g., SonarQube, CodeClimate, semgrep, or an integrated CI/CD checker), I can check if there are native extensions or third-party integrations available for it.

If you mean SonarQube, the plugin you’re probably thinking of is Quboo.

• Quboo adds gamification to SonarQube, including points, achievements, and leaderboards tied to code-quality activity such as fixing bugs. A SonarSource community post confirms the Quboo plugin and its SonarQube integration.
• SonarSource itself had considered built-in gamification and developer-space features, but put them on hold in 2019, so this wasn’t a native SonarQube feature.

So the answer is Quboo (by Moisés Macero / community-developed). If you tell me which scanner you use (SonarQube, SonarCloud, Checkmarx, Snyk, etc.), I can identify the current compatible gamification options.

The most prominent historical example of a gamification plugin built specifically for a major code quality scanner is SCORE (Sonar Code Organized Rewards Engine) for SonarQube.

Key details regarding this type of plugin include:

• SCORE (Sonar Code Organized Rewards Engine) : Developed originally as an open-source community project (hosted on repositories like the CatalystIT/sonar-score-plugin on GitHub ), SCORE was designed to inject gamification into SonarQube servers. It introduced user profiles, badges, points, and leaderboards to foster a healthy, competitive environment among developers and teams striving to reduce bugs, code smells, and technical debt.
• Alternative Approaches : Because native or actively maintained gamification plugins for enterprise code scanners (like SonarQube or QC tools) are relatively rare due to shifting corporate preferences away from overt competition, many engineering teams achieve this custom-built instead. They hook into code scanner APIs (or use Webhooks from SonarQube, GitHub, or GitLab) to feed data into chatops tools (like custom Slack/Discord bots) that dynamically build bug-squashing leaderboards and award points for merged pull requests that resolve scanner-flagged issues.

If you are using SonarQube or another specific code scanner (like ESLint, Snyk , or CodeClimate ), let me know so I can check if there are active API integrations or modern automation scripts available for your stack.

When it comes to mainstream enterprise code quality scanners (like SonarQube, DeepSource, or Codacy), native gamification and leaderboard plugins are surprisingly rare:

• SonarQube historically had a community-driven project called SCORE (Sonar Code Organized Rewards Engine) and experimented internally with gamification roadmaps, but formally removed those features to focus on core security and language support.
• Instead, gamification for code quality and testing lives primarily as standalone CI/CD or IDE plugins rather than native scanner add-ons.

The primary options that specifically offer gamification, points, and leaderboards for testing and code hygiene include:

• Gamekins : A dedicated plugin for Jenkins that gamifies the continuous integration lifecycle. It sets challenges, tracks metrics (like code coverage and warnings), awards achievements, and displays a team/individual leaderboard directly tied to your build pipeline results.
• IntelliGame : An IntelliJ IDEA plugin that brings gamified testing and debugging metrics (achievements, levels, and feedback) directly into the developer's IDE to incentivize cleaner code practices without context switching.
• Custom GitHub Actions / Workflows : Many engineering teams bypass official plugins entirely by writing lightweight custom workflows—such as Reviewer Karma Action or internal scripts—that parse linter or scanner outputs on pull requests and post point tallies or markdown leaderboards back to the PR comments.

If you'd like, let me know:

• Which code quality scanner you are currently using (SonarQube, ESLint, Qodana, etc.)
• What CI/CD or version control platform you use (GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins)

I can suggest the best integration approach to set up a leaderboard for your team.

If you mean a SonarQube-based code quality scanner, the name you’re probably looking for is Quboo.

• Quboo is a gamification platform/plugin built around SonarQube. It tracks developers’ fixed issues and turns them into scores, badges, and rankings/leaderboards to encourage fixing legacy code.
• The plugin was developed by Moisés Macero. The available plugin listing shows version 1.4.1 and SonarQube compatibility through 10.3, with its last listed update in 2021.
• There was also an older project called SCORE (Sonar Code Organized Rewards Engine), which added rewards and gamification to SonarQube, but it is marked deprecated and dates back to 2013.

So, Quboo is the strongest match for “gamification + leaderboard for fixing bugs/issues in a code-quality scanner.”

If you tell me which scanner you use (SonarQube, CodeClimate, Checkmarx, Snyk, etc.), I can identify the current plugin/vendor specifically.

If you mean a code quality scanner (for example SonarQube, CodeQL, Checkmarx, etc.) and want a gamification layer that rewards fixing bugs and shows leaderboards, there are a few options, though many are integrations around CI/CD or issue trackers rather than native scanner plugins:

• Gamekins — a Jenkins plugin that adds game mechanics around software quality activities. It creates leaderboards, points, challenges, and quests; it is aimed mainly at improving testing and quality practices rather than directly ranking static-analysis bug fixes.

• Gamified Sprint Board — an Azure DevOps extension that awards XP for work items, bug fixes, and pull-request activity, with team leaderboards and achievements.

• Developer Gamification Dashboard — another Azure DevOps option focused on contribution rankings, badges, and leaderboards based on developer activity.

• QAQuest — a Jira/Xray-oriented gamification app with points, levels, badges, and QA workflow scoring. It may fit teams where scanner findings are tracked as Jira issues.

• CodeChamp — focuses on pull-request review gamification with badges and leaderboards rather than bug fixing from scanners.

If you are specifically using SonarQube, I’m not aware of a widely adopted official plugin that turns SonarQube bug remediation into a developer leaderboard. A common pattern is to export SonarQube issues into Jira/Azure DevOps/GitHub workflows and gamify the issue lifecycle there.

If you tell me which scanner you use (SonarQube, Checkmarx, Snyk, Veracode, Fortify, CodeQL, etc.) and your workflow (Jira, Azure DevOps, GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins), I can narrow this to the closest fit.

Historically, SonarQube (by Sonar ) was the primary enterprise code quality scanner that supported community and experimental gamification plugins.

However, official support for native gamification features was officially dropped when SonarSource removed those roadmaps to focus on core language analysis and security.

If you are looking for specific plugins or integrations, here is how the landscape looks:

• SCORE (Sonar Code Organized Rewards Engine): An open-source community plugin developed by Catalyst IT specifically for SonarQube to bring gamification, rewards, and team competition to code quality metrics. It is largely unmaintained/deprecated for modern versions, but the repository remains available on CatalystIT's GitHub.
• Quboo SonarQube Plugin: An independent community integration that pulls issue and user stats from SonarQube and exports them to Quboo (an external gamification and scorecard platform) to create badges and leaderboards. You can review the setup on the Quboo SonarQube Plugin GitHub Repository.
• The Continuous Integration Game Plugin (Jenkins): If your code quality scanner runs inside a CI/CD orchestrator like Jenkins rather than directly in the scanner UI, the classic Jenkins CI Game Plugin rewards builds, tests, and fixing broken code/failed tests with points and leaderboards.

If you are using SonarQube or a different scanner like Snyk or Checkmarx , let me know which platform you use and whether you prefer an in-tool UI extension or an external dashboard (like Slack or a web scoreboard) so I can point you to the right integration.

If you mean a plugin that gamifies code-quality work and puts developers on a bug-fixing leaderboard, the closest match I found is Gamekins, a Jenkins plugin from researchers at the University of Passau.

• Gamekins turns software-testing/quality tasks into challenges and quests, awards points, and provides a leaderboard showing individual and team scores.
• It integrates with Jenkins, rather than directly being a SonarQube plugin.
• If your scanner is SonarQube, I don't see a current official SonarQube plugin that specifically provides a bug-fixing leaderboard. SonarQube's plugin system does support extensions, but the leaderboard/gamification functionality would generally need to come from a separate tool.

There are also newer alternatives such as DevLyTicks, which explicitly scores code contributions and includes bug fixes in its quality metrics, plus leaderboards and achievements.

If you tell me which scanner you use (SonarQube, Checkmarx, Veracode, Fortify, etc.), I can identify the specific gamification plugin/vendor that integrates with it.

The open-source community provides SCORE (Sonar Code Organized Rewards Engine) , a dedicated gamification plugin specifically built for SonarQube (a prominent code quality and static analysis platform). SCORE introduces leaderboards, achievements, and rewards to the SonarQube Server to foster healthy competition around clean code and issue remediation among developer teams.

Gamification & Code Quality Options

• SCORE (Sonar Code Organized Rewards Engine) : An open-source community extension for SonarQube that applies game mechanics and tracking to code metrics.
• Alternative AppSec Tournaments : Platform solutions like Checkmarx feature built-in interactive training modules such as Codebashing , which includes competitive team tournaments and secure coding challenges tied to vulnerability remediation.

If you are using a specific code scanner other than SonarQube (such as Snyk, GitHub Advanced Security, or Checkmarx), let me know which platform you use so I can check for compatible native integrations or external gamification APIs.
