VS Law Workstation is a VB.NET coding standards enforcement add-in integrated with Visual Studio .NET IDE that detects and corrects code violations and rule discrepancies efficiently.
This feature lets you extend automated code reviews well beyond basic coding standards compliance checking to include detection of known issues (which can lead to subtle bugs), identification of sub-optimal code that may impact performance, and detection of dead (unused) code. With the ability to customise rules to your liking, your automated code reviews are sure to be comprehensive and thorough.
VS Law Workstation even goes the extra mile by reporting crucial statistics like violation counts, line counts (split by type), and code complexity measurements in the form of McCabe Cyclomatic complexity values. These stats serve as effective tools for team leaders and project managers to measure and monitor the progress of software development.
Review results are delivered directly to the developer within the IDE and can be sorted and grouped as needed to focus on areas of concern. Any violation can be easily located and fixed since double-clicking on it selects the offending line of code.
The software is capable of identifying and reporting on issues across several general categories, including Arguments, Assembly Information, Attributes, Build Configurations, Class Declarations, Code Complexity, Code Layout, Comments, Constant Declarations, Dead Code, Enum Declarations, Events and Delegates, Exception Handling, Interfaces, Logic Errors, Method Declarations, Namespace Declarations, Project Settings, Property Declarations, Source Files, Structure Declarations, Type Declarations, Unauthorised Keywords, Variable Declarations and Windows Forms Design.
Overall, VS Law Workstation is an essential software for any developer looking to streamline their coding standards and improve the quality of their code.
