SQ scans with Quality Gate allows protection of your deliverables from both common code errors, platforms' issues Devs might not be aware of, or code regressions or code suboptimal organisation that might make it harder to support in the long run. This allows you to limit publishing of product only if it qualifies for release as per project defined quality levels or fail the pipeline otherwise, keeping your deliverables safe and customers happy.

So before deployment, you can check the coverage and share the report with others also.
