Anticipating Minds, Inc. announces a public beta program for its 2.0 version of
devAdvantage has now begun. The latest version has new productivity features as
well as a large set of naming convention rules. Participants will receive a 45%
discount on the 2.0 product when it releases.
Broadening the Market
devAdvantage
1.0, a tool that automates C# code reviews and fixes problems the
problems found, was released in October of 2003. The 1.0 release provides rules
targeted at programmers that develop multi-threaded .NET applications. The
devAdvantage 2.0 release is the first of many rapid releases to broaden the
functionality for every day tasks that all C# developers perform. Version 2.0
will deliver a collection of rules, called a knowledge pack, for
naming conventions
.
Making it Cost Effective to Enforce Standards
Conforming and enforcing naming conventions across a team of developers can be
challenging, if not impossible. What is more frustrating is that even when
issues are found in code reviews developers don’t always take the time to
correct the issues. Yet, when these types of guidelines are ignored, companies
pay the cost of increased software maintenance.
devAdvantage
2.0, along with the Naming Conventions Knowledge Pack allows you to
quickly detect any naming violations in your C# code. Taking static code
analysis beyond what other automated code review tools offer, devAdvantage
allows you to correct all these C# naming convention violations in either a
single click or by interacting with the product to collaboratively make fixes.
This now makes it feasible and cost effective for organizations to
realistically enforce programming standards making their products easier to
maintain.
What is Next
Anticipating Minds is very close to releasing its next set of rules in an Error
Handling Knowledge Pack. This knowledge pack will have a collection of
configurable rules targeted error handling, exception management and error
logging – making it easy for developers to ensure their code is robust a
supportable. Like all the rules for devAdvantage, these will be capable
of both detecting and correcting issues. Anticipating Minds is working to
introduce this set of rules into the 2.0 beta program before it concludes.
