Using Tools to Write Better Code

As we saw in Chapter 17, Best Practices in Coding C# 9, coding can be considered an art, but writing understandable code is surely more like philosophy. In that chapter, we discussed practices that you, as a software architect, need to observe for your developers. In this chapter, we will describe the techniques and tools for code analysis, so that you have well-written code for your projects.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

• Identifying well-written code
• Understanding the tools that can be used in the process to make things easier
• Applying extension tools to analyze code
• Checking the final code after analysis
• Use case—Implementing code inspection before publishing the application
