Hello Team,

I am trying to understand if we can use sonarqube like tools for code coverage of the custom kibana plugins. Are there is suggested frameworks or tools for Kibana.

## Thanks for your help and support.

Aditya

Hi @adityaPsl,

In Kibana we use [istanbul.js](https://istanbul.js.org/) to collect code coverage for our jest and functional tests, firstly since it is [build-in](https://istanbul.js.org/docs/tutorials/jest/) in jest

Since it is an external plugin, you are free to select whatever works best for you. Make sure to check [plugin development guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/external-plugin-development.html)

Regards, Dzmitry

Thank you @Dzmitry ,

let me try this. I hope by external Plugin you mean custom Kibana plugin developed using Kibana Plugin template.

Hi @adityaPsl,

By external plugin I mean a plugin developed & supported by community. As for Kibana plugin template, I'm not sure which one you consider, but have a look at the latest [examples](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/master/examples)  
Taking the template from that folder is better since it is covered by out tests

Regards, Dzmitry
