Code changes such as renaming a class and all its references or moving all hard coded strings to a resource file can be time consuming and error prone. Having a tool that detects these issues and automates the refactoring tasks can increase both productivity and quality.

 

Tired of the endless noise of violations in places that rules don’t apply? Want special rules for very specific situations? Rule scoping provides a very powerful ability to target rules at code that meets specific criteria. This scoping can be based on attributes such as the file or namespace that the code exists in, interfaces a type implements, types a class inherits from, method signatures, visibility of types and members, and so forth.

 

Like no other .NET static code analyzer on the market today, devAdvantage can also analyze and correct issues found in ASPX files.  A powerful example is the ability to correct a naming violation for a class type and be ensured that references found in both class (.cs) files and web pages (.aspx files) will be fixed.

Organizations define their own standards that can extend or deviate from common industry standards. Most tools leave you to accept their standards or require you to develop your own rules from scratch. devAdvantage has highly configurable rules allowing you to create new rules based on a common generic behavior (such as a naming convention) with very little effort.
