We are hoping to leverage a static code analysis tool (Sonar) as part of our continuous integration server, and are hoping to determine some useful guidelines to serve as a base for allowing the deployment to continue. What conditions should we make mandatory before allowing a build to proceed to the next set of testing?

The obvious answers include that it compiles and the unit tests are successful. But what are some other things we should require before allowing a build to not be rolled back?

Voting to close as not constructive because, as your own answers illustrate, this is more of a poll than a question with a single correct answer (or at least a set of similar answers). – delnan Oct 9 '12 at 17:49

I've also flagged this as not constructive, this isn't really suitable for the site. However if you are interested in expanding it, it could make for a great blog post for the Programmers Blog, the about page there describes how you can contribute. – Roc Martí Oct 9 '12 at 23:47

No decrease in public API comments.

Comments aren't good. Good comments are good. Bad comments are awful, and useless comments are bad because they waste time and space and give a false sense of quality to those who do not realize how useless they are. – delnan Oct 9 '12 at 17:52
