Hello,

Thank you for your interest in CodeIt.Right.

Please see inline comments below.

1. Does it have Built in Coding Standards (rules)?
   Yes, it does. CodeIt.Right comes with built in set of rules that is on the most part in sync with Microsoft Guidelines.
   
   
2. Does it support Customizable Coding Standards (rules) where I can create my own rules?
   Yes, it does. CodeIt.Right offers multiple rule customization options, including but not limited to
   
   • creating new rule instances by tweaking the rule properties to your standards,
   • creating Custom Rules using CodeIt.Right SDK - very easy to add new custom rules, please see this tuorial to get and idea - Tutorial: Creating Custom Rules
     
   
   
3. Does it Support Source Code Analysis?
   Yes, it does.
   
   
4. Does it Support assembly files Analysis?
   No, it does not. The benefit of CodeIt.Right doing source code analysis is that it also offers options to automatically refactor the violations (at the user preference) which wouldn't be possible in the compiled assembly analysis scenario.
   
   
5. Does it have rules that cover Code security analysis?
   Yes, it does. The rules can be found under the Security category in Profile Editor.
   
   
6. Does it Support Data Centralizing/Sharing where team members can share code and manager can assign a code to a tester (Dashboard)?
   No, it does not. CodeIt.Right is static code analysis and refactoring tool, it does not currently include testing nor code coverage features.
   
   
7. Does it support any type testing like unit testing or creates test cases automatically?
   No, it does not. CodeIt.Right is static code analysis and refactoring tool, it does not currently include unit testing and test case generation.
   
   
8. Does is Support Reporting? If yes are the reports customizable or not?
   Yes, it does. There are several reporting options included with CodeIt.Right:
   
   • Violations Report -XML/XSL based list of the violations found in a solution. Can be customized by editing XSL to your preference.
   • Pivot View - a pivot based based view of the solution health. Can be customize like a regular pivot by rearranging columns, rows, grouping and filtering.
   • (Enterprise Edition Only) Code Metrics report - a pivot representation of the code metric including:
     
     • Member Metrics - Cyclomatic Complexity, Lines of Code, Statements, Locals
     • Type Metrics - Depth of Inheritance, Fields, Methods, Properties, Events, Neted Types
     • Code Metrics - Types, Code Lines, Lines, Empty Lines, Comment Lines
       
   • (Enterprise Edition Only) - Usage Statistics - pivot based report across all projects/solutions within the organization.
     
   • All reports can be printed or exported in Excel format, all pivot based custom reports can be saved and reused in the future
     
   
   
9. Does is Come As plug-in or stand alone?
   It comes as Visual Studio extension (plugin), although the command-line version can be used outside of the Visual Studio.
   
   
10. Does it Support command-line option?
    Yes, it does. CodeIt.Right ships with the CodeItRight.Cmd.exe option that can be used in the automated build/continuous integration scenario. Please see CodeItRight.Cmd.exe Command Line Options for overview.
    

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about CodeIt.Right.

Thanks!

Correction for

#6. Does it Support Data Centralizing/Sharing where team members can share code and manager can assign a code to a tester (Dashboard)?

In the upcoming version of the Enterprise Edition we have added another Visual Studio Team System integration point that enables the creation of a WorkItem based on a violation with the corresponding violation info. This is not a Dashboard per se but it still falls under "manager can assign a code to a tester"

Thanks!
