This .NET Analysis Tool Showed Me Everything Wrong

In this video, we dive deep into NDepend, one of the most powerful static code analysis tools for .NET developers. I walk you through a hands-on review in which I analyze two real-world projects—one tightly coupled legacy .NET 5 system and a modern, clean-architecture rebuild—using NDepend directly inside Visual Studio. Learn how NDepend helps you: - Identify code smells and technical debt. - Generate detailed reports with metrics, dependency graphs, and matrices. - Visualize and understand project architecture and namespace dependencies. - Estimate fix times for code quality issues. - Improve collaboration and code review processes within your dev team. Whether you're working on legacy systems or building greenfield projects, NDepend can supercharge your .NET development workflow. 🔥 Try NDepend: https://www.ndepend.com ➡️ Like, share, and subscribe for more coding tool reviews, .NET tips, and architecture insights. 📚 Mentioned in this video: - Clean Architecture Concepts - Dependency Graphs & Technical Debt Ratings - Visual Studio Integration for Code Analysis 00:00 - Introduction 01:42 - Installation Steps 02:47 - Performing Project Analysis 05:32 - Reviewing Code Issues 07:29 - Assessing Issues by Project 07:41 - Checking Code Quality Gates 08:25 - Dependency Graph 09:28 - Analyzing a Second Project 12:45 - Checking Code Quality 13:16 - Final Remarks and Recommendations
