Working with NDepend


NDepend is a software tool which can be integrated with Visual Studio. After successful installation, you can see an NDepend menu option in your Visual Studio menu bar. Most of the sub-menu may be disabled. Here, I have integrated NDepend with MS Visual Studio 2010. To work with, select menu:


NDepend > NDepend Start Page


The start page will display solution analysis link and can be look like as shown in figure below.


To analyze your project and solution, click on link “Analysis VS Solutions and VS Projects”.

It will pop up a child window which will display all solution files available in your system. You can select any solution file or can browse a solution from “Browse” button and then click OK.

In next window, it may ask to choose an assembly from list of assemblies. For this just click on “Analyze .Net 4 assembly” button, now you can see all the sub-menus have been activated.



Dashboard:

The dashboard will display summary of your project solution including- lines of code, method complexity, code rules, rules violated, types, percentage of comment lines, third-party usages and related. A summary dashboard you can see in below image.
