Code Rule and Code Query
Hundreds of default code rules to check against best practices. Support for Code Query over C# LINQ (CQLinq) to easily customize rules and query code.
Easily Manage Large Projects
Most companies have large systems that work together, often in mysterious ways. NDepend's in-depth reporting and toolset can help your company enforce its own coding standards and maintain complex projects.
Powerful Dependency Graph and Matrix
Explore how the code is actually structured and shed light on architectural flaws thanks to the most powerful code dependency graph and dependency matrix available in the tool industry.
Smart Technical Debt Estimation
For each issue, the cost to fix and the severity are estimated through smart and customizable C# formulas. Thus estimations proposed are realistic.
Continuous Code Quality
A unique approach to continuously keep the technical debt under control and reimburse it with time.
Quality Gates
Quality Gates are C# LINQ (CQLinq) queries that implement PASS/FAIL criteria to code quality.
In-Depth Issues Management
Explore the issues-set in a few clicks and focus your effort on what is urgent and important.
Harness Test Coverage Data
Import test coverage data, and make the most of it in the NDepend feature-rich context.
Monitor the Health of Your Application
NDepend allows your team to accurately gauge the overall health of your application, no matter how complex it is.
Trend Monitoring
Get Trend Charts about pretty much any code metrics to master the evolution of your application.
Code Diff since Baseline
Compare two versions of a code base and its issues set, and browse diff and changes in any way you can think of.
Warnings on Build Process Health
Be warned of potential build process problems before they end up causing friction and pain.
Reduce Friction Between Your Developer Teams
NDepend's reporting and analysis helps architects and developers to communicate and reduce confusion.
Continuous Integration Reporting
Integrate NDepend analysis into your build process and get highly customized and detailed reports to see progression and prevent code quality degradation.
Complexity and Diagrams
Spot too complex code at a glance thanks to unique diagramming capabilities.
Code Quality and Code Metrics
Lines of Code, Cyclomatic Complexity, Coupling, Nesting Depth, Rank, NDepend supports them all (and much more).
Working with Legacy Code is Now Easier
By mapping out the structure of the project, it is much easier to see how components and dependencies are connected.
Detect Dependency Cycles
Get rid of dependency cycles between components to achieve higher code maintainability.
Enforce Immutability and Purity
NDepend helps maintaining clean side-effects free code to write highly maintainable products.
Real-World Proof
Full Visual Studio and Azure DevOps integration, super fast and lightweight analysis, integration within all CI/DevOps systems, NDepend is conceived for real-world programmers.
NDepend.API and Power Tools
Write your own static analyzer based on NDepend.API, or tweak existing open-sources Power Tools.
Powerful Dependency Graph and Matrix
NDepend Dependency Graph (6 minutes)
NDepend Dependency Matrix (5 minutes)
It is vital information to know how the elements of a code base depend on each other. As a developer you spend time thinking about how your layers should interact, creating interfaces and events to avoid dependencies between concrete classes.
As the code base grows, more and more time is spent managing and analyzing dependencies. If I refactor this piece of code, what will be the global impact? Is this layer allowed to access directly DB? Will I accidentally freeze the UI thread if my code invokes this method?
NDepend comes with several facilities that allow the efficient dependency management. In seconds you can know which part of the code will be impacted if you refactor a class, you can be advised if a layer dependency violation has been accidentally created, you can pinpoint precisely which part of the code relies on a particular tier component, you can list methods that can be reached from a given method etc…
