Code Analysis
One of the biggest merits of good framework design is to have common patterns and conventions that make developers feel at home when discovering your application programming interface (API). It should be no surprise that tools have been written to enforce those goals by means of static, compile-time analysis of code. It turns out such tools can also be used to point out a plethora of common bugs or suboptimal development practices.
Collectively known as code analysis in Visual Studio, all those static compile-time checks provide a great means to be vigilant about certain aspects of code quality in a continuous manner. Code analysis rules are grouped in so-called rule sets, which control the amount of “noise” you can tolerate.
