Static Code Analysis
In today’s software development world, I believe it’s more important than ever to write clean and maintainable code. The increasing complexity of software, lower retention in the workforce, and increased competition should lead us to standardize our way of writing software more and put the next developer in the pit of success coming into the codebase. Catching errors early is super important when the developers have it in their mind, preferably. One of the ways to achieve this is through the use of static code analysis, which allows developers to identify potential issues and bugs in their code before it is even executed. With the Roslyn compiler extensions in C#, developers have the ability to create custom analyzers and code fixes that can help automate this process.
In this chapter, we’ll explore the basics of static code analysis and how to use Roslyn compiler extensions to write your own analyzers and code fixes. We’ll cover...
