Project Analyzer is a Visual Basic code review and quality control tool. Detect logic flaws by automated code review. Perform impact analysis before writing changes. Understand poorly documented legacy code. Reverse engineer existing VB projects into diagrams and documentation. Save costs and keep end-users happy by delivering high-quality VB applications with few errors.
Key Features:
Detect dead code. Remove unused modules, procedures, variables, constants and controls. Decrease your .exe by up to 100s of kB.
Optimize. Find inefficient code. Use faster syntax and optimal declarations.
Enforce coding style. Apply design standards and make that spaghetti code readable again.
Standardize naming. Enforce naming conventions on variables, procedures and other objects. Pro, Ent
Detect errors. Find functionality problems, such as unimplemented events, questionable tab orders and missing error handling.
Avoid resource leaks. Ensure proper disposing of objects and API handles.
Find duplicate blocks. Spot and join duplicate code blocks that frequently result from copy & paste coding. Ent
Ensure .NET compatibility. Review VB6 code for known VB.NET compatibility issues.
Surf around in hypertext. Click objects to see their use and declarations. Locate code via the enhanced Find window. Copy syntax-formatted code to documents.
Cross-reference. Find locations of use for any programming object. View class instantiations, variable reads and writes, procedure calls etc. Analyze file dependencies and call sequences to understand the impact of changes. Cross-referencing is a technique that finds where each class, procedure or variable is being used and how.
Document your projects. Generate comprehensive documentation with reports such as procedure list, variable list, control list, interface list and project dictionary. Print your source code in multiple columns with syntax highlighting. Export code as syntax highlighted PDF, HTML or RTF.
Create code manuals and source code web sites.
DLL and COM analysis. Analyze the contents and use of binary .dll, .ocx and .exe files in VB code.
Metrics. Monitor code quality with 180 metrics, such as lines of code, cyclomatic complexity, relative complexity, depth of nesting, comment density, length of names and object-oriented metrics. Compare projects and view project history.
