devAdvantage combines features of a refactoring tool and code analyzer to create a tool for C# .NET development. Some of the areas addressed include error and exception handling, threading, and serialization.

Today’s code analyzers leave developers with a long list of time-consuming and potentially risky changes to address. Today’s refactoring tools require developers to review and seek out opportunities for refactoring. devAdvantage creates an integrated solution capable of locating problems and using the information to target the actions needed to address the issues – all in an automated, yet interactive process.

devAdvantage currently targets problem areas surrounding C# best practices in areas such as: error and exception handling, naming conventions and guidelines, threading, .NET Framework usage, design best practices, serialization, performance and scalability. The highly configurable rules allow developers and technical leads to define their own standards in these areas.

These best practices and standards are typically abandoned when the project schedules get compressed or development is outsourced. This creates a high-cost to support, maintain and grow the product in the future – in effect creating a "design debt" that will require payment immediately after release, if not earlier. By empowering and educating developers, devAdvantage makes it realistic and cost effective, not only to assess, but to comply with best practices during development.
