Some time ago, I had the privilege of being contacted by Patrick Smacchia, CEO and lead developer at NDepend to try out NDepend v2023.
Having never used NDepend before, my curiosity was naturally piqued. In my daily role as Senior Software Engineer, we extensively employ static code analysis tools as part of our Azure DevOps build pipelines. While running them on our machines isn’t mandatory, so why not first perform this kind of static analysis directly on your PC without having to wait?
Okay, I’ve given a good introduction, but what is NDepend, and what does it do?
What is NDepend?
NDepend is a powerful .NET Code Quality Tool that seamlessly integrates with Visual Studio and other DevOps platforms, supporting the latest technologies. It prioritizes quality in recent changes, offering a seamless PASS/FAIL Quality Gate and smart technical debt estimation.
