Sensor (sonar-plugin-api 7.9.2)

All Superinterfaces:

ProjectSensor
```
@ScannerSide
@SonarLintSide
@ExtensionPoint
public interface Sensor
extends ProjectSensor
```
A sensor is invoked once for each module of a project, starting from leaf modules. The sensor can parse a flat file, connect to a web server... Sensors are used to add measure and issues at file level.
For example the Cobertura Sensor parses Cobertura report and saves the first-level of measures on files. For testing purpose you can use SensorContextTester

Since:

5.1, 7.6 use ProjectSensor instead to make your Sensor run only once per analysis, and no more once per module
