Project Analyzer is a Visual Basic source code analyzer, optimizer and documenter. It works with VB, VB.NET, ASP.NET and Office VBA. Project Analyzer does an automatic code review to detect quality control issues like dead code, unoptimal variable declarations, unoptimized syntax, memory leaks and functionality issues such as missing event handlers or questionable tab order. You can enforce programming standards on variable naming, commentation, disallowed statements and code complexity. Optionally, you can let the tool automatically remove or comment out the unused, dead code to considerably reduce the size of your program. You can also search for duplicated code blocks that frequently result from copy-paste coding.
Project Analyzer lets you navigate your projects with hypertext and graphical views. Click objects to see their use and declarations. Locate code via the enhanced Find window. Copy syntax-formatted code to documents. Understand existing programs with the help of cross-references, call trees, called-by trees, class diagrams, dependency diagrams and Visio diagramming support.
Project Analyzer generates comprehensive project documentation, including source code listings, comment manuals, cross-reference listings, module reports, project dictionary. It can turn VB code into a web site or linked PDF. Besides source code analysis, the program also analyzes binary DLL and COM libraries and .NET assemblies. Project Analyzer calculates 184 software metrics including lines of code, cyclomatic complexity, relative complexity, depth of conditional nesting, amount of commentation and object-oriented metrics for the entire inheritance tree.
