C# and .NET Static Analysis With Parasoft dotTEST

Parasoft dotTEST verifies C# and VB.NET code quality and checks compliance with industry and security standards (such as OWASP, CWE, UL 2900, or PCI DSS) by applying the most complete set of static analysis techniques to validate code and ensure defects are prevented at the earliest stage of the software development process.

How Does It Work?

Parasoft dotTEST provides the industry’s most comprehensive set of C# and .NET static analysis checkers that can be used to verify compliance with security standards, identify runtime problems early (for example, null pointers and memory leaks), find code duplicates, and understand code complexity/structure to ensure your code is both reliable and maintainable.

Parasoft dotTEST uses multiple code parsing engines to analyze and gain a deep understanding of the C# or .NET code in development and applies over 900 different rules to quickly find critical violations in the code. The rules are prioritized and grouped into predefined configurations, allowing users to quickly understand and prioritize the analysis.

Static code analysis can be performed either in the IDE (Visual Studio and VS Code) or using the command-line interface for automation and continuous integration scenarios. The results of the analysis can be accessed immediately within the IDE and from generated reports (HTML, PDF, XML) as well as being aggregated for further post-processing, reporting, and analytics from the award-winning Parasoft DTP reporting and analytics dashboard.

As you scale across your team, dotTEST provides advanced capabilities for making C# and .NET static analysis a maintainable element of the development process by suppressing unwanted findings, prioritizing findings, assigning findings to developers, and more.

dotTEST enables developers to remediate static analysis findings easily and quickly through its optional integration with various LLM providers such as OpenAI and Azure OpenAI. With LLM integration, developers can leverage generative AI to rapidly generate code fixes for static analysis findings, assisting in situations where the developer may not be familiar with the specific rule or violation.
