Add importance weighting to rules for more robust "fails"
Instead of a binary critical or not critical flag for rules, it would be nice to have a weighting system for rules (e.g. "each violation of this rule is worth 3, but each violation of this important rule is worth 8").
Then perhaps we could assign a threshold for whether our analysis failed based on point totals, or some percentage formula.1 votewith the technical debt support of v2017 that let’s assign a cost-to-fix and a severity estimation for each issue

TFS 2015 Support
When and how do you plan to integrate nDepend with vNext build in TFS 2015?
111 votesWe just released NDepend v2017.1 with an advanced extension for TFS 2017 and VSTS. The extension is a management console with Dashboard and actionable data. Have a look here: http://www.ndepend.com/ndepend-v2017#VSTS
This extension is in private beta, General Availability expected by March 2017.
Come back to us at vsts@ndepend.com to enroll in the private beta. -
Suppress items in the analysis
It would be great if you can suppress certain items from the analysis result and add a remark to why you suppressed them.
Some warnings might not be applicable to a certain item in the list, but if you cannot suppress them they will always count the item. Only other option is to fully disable the rule, but this might have unwanted consequences (like no warnings in the past).
A feature like: "Accept this violation" would be highly appreciated.

Add better support for async
NDepend currently analyses all the method delegates etc, scoring a class with async keywords as complex and also misrepresents the number of fields and members as it includes code generated members rather than mapping back to keyword + closures.

Remember window layouts
Each time I start Visual Studio, the NDepend windows are in a different place than I moved them before. I am using 2 monitors and I'd really like to have the NDepend windows on my second screen so that I can work in Visual Studio and have a look at the metrics at the same time.

Path
Improved Path Support: please implement an improvement to Path support such that I can use both relative path + path variables in the ndproj file.
This is important as I want to be able to:
add specific assemblies to the ndproj using a relative path. This means that when I branch, I don't need to update the default value to include the new branch name when using Visual NDepend
support two standard arguments used through our build process $(Configuration) and $(Platform)
Example of what I want to be able to do in he Path References screen (screenshots available on request):
