NDepend is a comprehensive .NET code quality and security tool that empowers developers and teams to monitor code quality, track progress, detect regressions, and identify code smells. It generates detailed diagrams and interactive web reports, enabling informed decision-making and the enforcement of coding standards. The software works seamlessly across all .NET versions, integrates with various .NET IDEs and CI/CD technologies, and is compatible with Windows, MacOS, and Linux operating systems. The tool provides an in-depth code quality management experience, generating reports in seconds via a DevOps task, which stands in contrast to more complex, slow, or costly server-based solutions. NDepend helps teams take back control of their codebase by providing insights into application architecture, identifying areas for refactoring, and reducing technical debt. It supports adherence to coding standards through its powerful CQLINQ query language, allowing for the integration of custom company coding rules. NDepend can also identify specific code improvements, such as suggesting class-to-structure conversions for memory optimization, particularly beneficial for mobile applications. Trusted by over 12,000 companies, NDepend is a vital asset for professional developers seeking to maintain and enhance the quality and security of their .NET code.
