| CodeIt.Right | FxCop |
Instant Code Review |
Real-time code analysis provides instant feedback to developers in the Visual Studio Editor and fixes issues on the spot |
N/A |
|
Scans and analyzes source code |
Runs on compiled assemblies (you have to compile code to use it) |
Correction |
Corrects violations and code smells automatically |
N/A |
Refactoring to patterns |
Automatically implements and corrects most common coding patterns like Dispose/Finalize, ISerializable, Custom Serialization, etc |
N/A |
Visual Studio Integration |
Natively integrates into Visual Studio IDE; quick navigation to the violation source code; highlights modifications in the editor; safe Undo/Redo. |
Basic/Command line |
ASP.NET |
ASPX/ASCX/ASMX pages, in-page code, code behind source |
Only compiled code behind assemblies |
Local variables/constants |
Includes rules that are targeting local variables/constants and any data that is present in the source code |
Not possible in FxCop - the data is lost in the MSIL |
Follow your own standards |
Includes Microsoft Guidelines and best industry practices out of the box. Allows to define your own standard to follow - tweak the rule set to your needs without having to write custom rules (which is an option too). For example, go as crazy as enforce Hungarian naming conventions; or convert existing project with Hungarian notation to the new MS style conventions. |
Strictly enforces Microsoft Guidelines - inflexible and enforces the set with no options to configure |
Define custom rule set |
Profiles - configure multiple rule subsets and quickly switch between them. Share profiles between the Team members or (EE) push them to the Team. |
N/A |
Rule Instances |
Introduces Rule Instances - multiple instances of a single rule that are configured (via rule Properties) to your Team needs |
Only allows to turn off specific rule, cannot configure/tweak |
Reducing noise (false positives) |
- Exclude violation in Project
- Exclude violation in source code
- Exclude Violation, Rule, File, Project
- Exclude code regions
- Custom Profiles
- Override default rule severity, target, scope, etc
|
- Exclude violation in Project
- Exclude violation in source code
|
Severity Threshold |
Unique feature - Severity Threshold - allows to concentrate on most critical violations first and drill down from most severe issues to simple warnings. |
N/A |
|
Scan entire solution, project, folder or individual file |
Scan projects only |
Create own guidelines documentation |
Generate Team Guidelines document within a mouse click, with description, code samples, etc - based on your custom configured Profile |
N/A |
Team features |
(EE) separate modules to (a) author / configure team standards and (b) run analysis and correction based on the team standard configured by Team Lead/Architect; publish and push (share) Team standard configuration to the Team members; Team usage statistics |
N/A |
Reporting |
Flexible reporting/pivot that can be exported and printed |
N/A |
Code Metrics |
Available (EE); can be exported, printed, emailed |
N/A |
Command line output |
Violations, Code Metrics (EE) |
