Can LLMs generate Enterprise Quality Code? — Prasenjit Sarkar, Sonar
May 31, 2026 · 15:12
Prasenjit Sarkar from Sonar evaluates whether LLMs generate enterprise-quality code using SonarQube analysis of 4,444 Java assignments across 53 models. While Gemini 3.1 Pro High achieves 84.17% pass rate, GPT-5.4 Pro High generates 1.2 million lines (high bloat), and Claude Sonnet 4.6 has 300 security issues per million lines. The ACDC framework addresses these gaps: Guide (Sonar Sweep and Context Augmentation), Verify (SonarQube Agentic Analysis in 1–5 seconds pre-commit), and Solve (Remediation Agent that fixes issues and checks regressions before presenting fixes). Sonar's leaderboard at sonar.com/leaderboard provides detailed pass rates, cyclomatic/cognitive complexity, bug density, and security metrics per model.
