Code Analysis Enhancements in Visual Studio

2 posts · Jul 2013

What this trail covers

Visual Studio's code analysis experience continues to evolve with a focus on improving user feedback and the overall user experience. Visual Studio 2013 introduces categories for native rules and exposes existing managed code analysis categories in the UI, allowing for more fine-grained grouping of defects. Users can filter results by category and sort them by properties like Rule ID, File Name, and Category. This builds upon previous improvements in Visual Studio 2012, which made code analysis available in more editions, introduced a new UI for viewing results, and improved accuracy.
