# Using SonarQube with Cover Plugin

Tests written by Diffblue Cover may be reported as "code smells" by SonarQube. To suppress these warnings and reduce the reported "code smells" in the SonarQube output, go to `Diffblue > Change Settings > Method Annotations` and update the `Warnings to suppress` list, as needed - this will add the `@SuppressWarnings` code annotation to all test methods written by Diffblue Cover, as detailed below.

**Example - all:** `all`

Suppresses all warnings - adds the code annotation `@SuppressWarnings({"all"})`\`

**Example - types:** `unused,raw-types`

Suppresses one or more "warning types" - this example adds the code annotation `@SuppressWarnings({"unused","raw-types"})`

**Example - specific:** `squid:S2699`

Suppresses one or more specific warnings (using warning codes) - this example, adds the code annotation `@SuppressWarnings({"squid:S2699"}`
