+# Code analysis
+
+The `run-coverage.sh` script runs maven with the coverage profile which generates the test coverage
+data for java classes.
+If the required parameters are given it also runs the sonar analysis and uploads the results to the
+given SonarQube Server.
+
+## Running code analysis
+
+After running the script the code coverage results generated by the JaCoCo library can be found
+under the `/target/jacoco-coverage/` folder of every module.
+
+Here is how you can generate the code coverage reports:
+
+```sh dev-support/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:
+
+```sh dev-support/code-coverage/run-coverage.sh -l LoginCredentials -u https://exampleserver.com -k Key -n Name```
