.NET Static Code Analysis
Location: Franz Hall, Room 018
Static code analysis is a way to test your code without actually running it. It can detect errors that often times don't show up until the application is running at your customer's site. It also shows where your code doesn't follow best practices. In this session, you will learn how to manually perform static code analysis with FxCop and StyleCop and how to add these tools into a Continuous Integration process so the code analysis is performed automatically.
