NDepend offers a wide range of features to let the user analyze a code base. It is often described as a Swiss Army Knife for .NET developers. Make your .NET Code Beautiful with NDepend. Measure quality with metrics, see design with diagrams and enforce decisions with code rules, right into Visual Studio.

Code Rule and Code Query
More than 150 default code rules to check against best practices. Support for Code Query over LINQ (CQLinq) to easily write custom rules and query code.

Trend Monitoring
Get Trend Charts about pretty much any code metrics to master the evolution of your application.

Harness Test Coverage Data
Import test coverage data, and make the most of it in the NDepend feature-rich context.
