Development Testing for C# Applications

Static analysis shouldn’t be about finding loads of coding style or standard issues. It should be focused on finding the most critical defects. Although traditional byte code analysis solutions such as FxCop are useful, they can miss critical, crash causing defects - plus produce a large set of coding style issues, which can slow down the development team. Learn how the Coverity Development Testing Platform can help you:

• Find and fix resource leaks, concurrency problems and null references within Visual Studio

• Eliminate defects such as inconsistent indention issues and copy paste errors that can only be found by understanding the intent of the programmer through source code analysis

• Understand the impact of change to better prioritize and focus your automated testing efforts
