Code Coverage Tool: NCover

HarrySingh — Mon, 05 May 2008 17:21:00 GMT

NCover is a intelligent code coverge tool. I used it in determining how many % of Biz Logic code is actually tested via unit tests. The more the % the better is the code quality.

What does Code Coverage means: An analysis method that determines which parts of the software have been executed (covered) by the test case suite and which parts have not been executed and therefore may require additional attention. It describes the degree to which the source code of a program has been tested. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_coverage

Every standard app should have some minimum % coverage (say 85%), marking it as a quality app/product.

Advantages:

Helps in writing quality code and hence a quality product.
Provides a Graphical and a Web UI Interface
You can exclude the file that you dont wanna test.
64 bit program support.
Fast and Simple

Disadvantages:

Not a Visual Studio Add in...but will be in future.

Productivity Boost Tool For Developers - ReSharper

HarrySingh — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 19:33:00 GMT

I am using this tools from past few months.

The features that i like:

Orphaned code detection : It colors out the orphaned code (variables, methods) that is not being used for the app. This is very useful in detecting missing code implementation errors.
Coding Assistance: It automatically writes some code for you like the parenthesis, brackets etc
Code Refactoring: i love this feature, This is a very quick way to refactor your code and to generate the new refactored methods. This automatically generates a new method with the required signature.
Unit Testing : You can run, debug your unit tests from the code window, also it supports running of individual test, test suites in a seperate window.
Supports C# and VB.Net code.

Disadvantages:

increases your project load times.
Current release version 3.1 doesnt support VS 2008 features but version 4.0 will support it.

There are much more features to try with the trial version on the site.

My First Blog in ASP.NET World

HarrySingh — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 18:17:00 GMT

This is my first blog and i am a new person to the blogging world.

I am a big fan of Microsoft Products (espesially VS 2008) and want to spread the new products all over the world. Often we know the products but we are limited to only few features. My aim is to explore all the new features so that we can use the technologies to the fullest. Thats the main reason for the creation of the blog.

I will be blogging about

1. VS 2008

2. C#2008

3.AJAX

4.General Development Practices

5. Agile Programming

I would love to share more and more and would love to receive some feedback.

Enjoy,

Harry
