Integrated Code Analysis

Visual Studio 2005 implements code analysis to help teams write quality code by checking code for violations of programming and design rules. Code analysis can be run as a task in the build process in Team Foundation Server Build in order to help teams identify ways their code can be improved during the development process.

When code analysis is enabled in a build, all the code that is part of the build is analyzed. If any violations are encountered, they are included as warnings or errors in the build report. This information can be used to help determine the quality of a build.

Code analysis results are included in the build details report for a particular build. Build analysis is enabled for a build when creating the build from the Team Builds node in the Team Explorer.
