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.

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.
Trend Monitoring
NDepend Trend Charts (3 minutes)
NDepend lets create trend charts. Trend charts are made of trend metrics values logged over time at analysis time. More than 50 trend metrics are available per default and it is easy to create your own trend metrics.
Trend charts are displayed on the NDepend dashboard. Some trend charts are available per default to show:
- Lines of Code
- Number of Code Rules Violated and number of Code Rules Violations
- Code Coverage per Tests
- Max and Average values for various Code Quality Metrics
- Third-Party Usage
Trend charts can be customized and it is easy to create your own trend charts to show default trend metrics and/or custom trend metrics.
Measuring a code base trends with NDepend comes with many flexible sub-features:
- Lines of Code
- Trend charts can be created and customized.
- New Trend metrics can be written through CQLinq queries. For example here is the definition of a trend metric that counts the numbers of types implementing the interface System.IDisposable:
- Trend charts can be displayed and analyzed both in the main NDepend UI and in the reports.
- NDepend.API comes with a sub API to read/write trend metrics values logged and to force log.
