Sonar has announced the acquisition of Gitar, a move aimed at expanding its AI code verification platform with advanced AI-powered code review capabilities. The deal brings together Gitar’s agentic AI-driven review technology and Sonar’s established code quality, security, and governance platform to help enterprises manage the growing volume of AI-generated code.
As organizations increasingly adopt AI-assisted software development, ensuring code quality and security has become a critical concern. Sonar plans to integrate Gitar’s technology into SonarQube, creating a unified platform that reviews and verifies code throughout the development lifecycle—from the moment AI agents generate code to its deployment into production environments.
According to Sonar, more than 75% of Fortune 100 companies and over seven million developers already rely on SonarQube to assess software quality and security. The company reports that organizations using its platform are significantly less likely to experience outages linked to AI-generated code while also improving development efficiency.

“Enterprise adoption of AI depends on strong verification of agentic output. Right now, every enterprise is asking the same question: ‘How do we move fast with AI without breaking things?’ Now, enterprises will have a unified platform that brings together the best of AI code review and the most comprehensive verification engine in the market, providing the highest level of assurance whether you’re using Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Devin, or GitHub Copilot,” said Tariq Shaukat.
Gitar’s leadership team, including CEO Ali-Reza Adl-Tabatabai and co-founder Gautam Korlam, will join Sonar to continue developing the platform. Gitar will also remain available as a standalone offering while being integrated into Sonar’s broader product portfolio.
“While the market chased AI code generation, we focused on the harder problem: validating it. We built Gitar because we saw firsthand what happens when development velocity outpaces code quality. AI has made that problem an order of magnitude bigger. We’re deeply proud of what we’ve built at Gitar, and excited to bring that work into Sonar. Together, we’ll deliver the greatest, unbeatable verification platform for the agentic era,” said Adl-Tabatabai.
The acquisition also reinforces Sonar’s broader strategy around what it calls the Agent Centric Development Cycle, a framework designed to ensure AI-generated code remains secure, compliant, and aligned with enterprise standards. Through this combined platform, organizations will gain enhanced capabilities for code analysis, automated remediation, architecture governance, and real-time AI-assisted verification, helping software teams scale AI-driven development with greater confidence and control.
