Strategic visibility
into code health
GoQu turns code quality into measurable indicators, allowing developers to discover security and performance issues, highlight Guidewire upgrade and migration requirements, prioritise critical areas and compare different systems and modules. This gives decision-makers a shared, objective view of the codebase, ownership and accountability for defects introduced to your project and a much stronger basis for prioritisation.
Technical debt expressed
in money and effort
GoQu translates bugs, code smells and vulnerabilities into estimated effort and effective cost. With GoQu Quality Report, you will get a ranked list of what to fix first, with clear impact on budget and workload, code quality comparisons with other insurers in your market and actionable insights into your architecture. This makes it far easier to justify remediation spend and compare technical work with other business investments.
Reduced risk
and fewer production incidents
By catching issues early and enforcing consistent standards, GoQu lowers the likelihood of failures in core policy, billing and claims systems. Fewer incidents mean fewer emergency releases, less unplanned overtime and fewer negative surprises for customers and operations. In practice, this protects both your brand and your margins.
Better planning
and more predictable delivery
With time estimates and clear impact assessment, GoQu makes planning much more reliable. You can align stabilisation work, upgrades and new features on a realistic timeline, instead of constantly reacting to hidden defects. This improves predictability for both IT and business stakeholders and supports more confident roadmap commitments.
Compliance, security
and a future-proof Guidewire platform
GoQu’s OWASP and CWE coverage helps you demonstrate that your systems follows recognised security and industry standards. Audit trails, severity ratings and structured reports make risk and compliance discussions easier and more evidence-based. Combined with regular updates aligned with Guidewire and SonarQube, it keeps your core platform safer today and easier to evolve tomorrow.
User-oriented development
We build GoQu together with its users. Over 50% of the features and improvements delivered in 2024 came directly from client requests. Your Gosu codebase is unique – and GoQu evolves to match your real development workflows, not the other way around.
Benefit from
over 170 ready-to-use rules
GoQu currently provides 170+ pre-defined rules – and the list is still growing. You can modify and customise the behaviour of many rules to better fit your project and coding standards. Each rule is documented in depth, with code examples and references, so the whole team understands what is being checked and why.
Time estimates
for fixing issues
GoQu provides precise time frames for resolving issues detected in your code. This helps developers and team leads plan their work, estimate remediation effort and negotiate realistic timelines. Instead of guessing, you can base your planning on concrete numbers.
Compliance
with OWASP & CWE standards
GoQu’s adherence to OWASP and CWE ensures that your applications are protected against common vulnerabilities. Issues are prioritised and rated according to global security standards, so your team can focus on resolving the most critical problems instead of debating priorities.
Seamless integration
with Guidewire, SonarQube and Cloud
GoQu receives regular updates to remain compatible with the latest versions of Guidewire and SonarQube. It offers pull-request decorators, commit scope analysis, merge prevention and all out-of-the-box SonarQube features for the Gosu language. This lets you enhance your development workflow quickly, without changing your existing toolchain.

Large Guidewire platforms tend to grow organically over many years. Multiple teams, changing requirements, tight deadlines, and successive upgrades all leave their mark on the codebase. Over time, it becomes increasingly difficult to answer simple yet critical questions: Where is our real technical risk? Which systems will be the most expensive to change? And how much effort will it take to stabilise the platform?
Monitor quality with interactive reports, then resolve problems directly in the code with real-time scans and one-click fixes
Gain insights into your code's health with detailed reports. These reports highlight critical issues, progress over time, and offer actionable recommendations, empowering IT leaders to make informed decisions. This feature is a part of GoQu Hub.
Potential code issues are detected in real time and highlighted directly in code. GoQu's QuickFix feature allows you to resolve coding errors instantly with just a click, ensuring efficient and error-free code management. This not only speeds up the development process but also reduces the need for manual corrections and minimise the chance of human error. This feature is a part of GoQu Dev.

Read moreGoQu offers the largest set of rules among its competitors, auto-fixing of code defects thanks to GoQu Quickfix, and supports every version of Guidewire from 8 to Cloud. GoQu also tracks unit test coverage, cyclomatic complexity, and many other metrics. As a tool built specifically for Gosu and Guidewire code quality, it provides deeper level of insight than generic static analysis tools.
Yes, GoQu supports Custom Template Rules, enabling teams to define their own static code analysis rules and enforce them across the organization. Many existing rules also include configurable parameters. For example, the “Suffix on Class Names” rule lets you specify custom naming conventions such asExampleClass_AXA.
Yes, GoQu is independent and compatible with other Gosu analyzers such as CodeNarc and Guidewire Studio inspections. This allows teams to combine GoQu with their current toolset.
Yes, GoQu integrates with CI/CD and provides pull-request decorators, commit scope analysis, merge prevention, and full support for SonarQube features for the Gosu language. This enables automated quality gates and consistent review processes.
GoQu Dev is a plug-and-play IDE plugin that installs in under one minute. GoQu Hub itself requires only a simple file copy. Installing and configuring SonarQube may take approximately 20 minutes.
No, GoQu Hub works with all SonarQube licensing models, including the free Community Edition, which enables cost-efficient adoption.
Yes, GoQu identifies Guidewire out-of-the-box (OOTB) classes and files and excludes them from analysis, while highlighting any custom code that has been added to or modified within those components. This makes it easy to distinguish what truly belongs to the implementation.
GoQu receives two major updates per year, plus smaller patches and hotfixes. This ensures alignment with new Guidewire releases and evolving industry standards.
Yes, through the GoQu Hub and the SonarQube UI, users receive a comprehensive overview of code quality, test coverage, complexity, and maintainability.
