ow to check the source code quality / How to check the source code on the basis of yo

[woojtii]

Hello,

I would like to ask You, how do You check the source code quality and how do You check Your source code on the basis of your coding conventions?

 

Do You use some special tools or Your own application?

When You are using some tools, then what these tools are testing?

 

Is it better to run test by daily development or by daily build?

FXcop can help with code conventions. Peer reviews can help with quality.

 

For most products, we run all our tests after every commit in addition to doing a nightly build. Test on commit usually catches module errors and nightly build/test catches integration issues. That doesn't include the testing that individual developers do while they're writing code. Most of those tests should make their way into the automated build/test regiment. Whatever you have resources for is the best thing to do. Automation is better than manual because it actually gets done.

Do you know some other tools like FxCop to test code?
