You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

NCrunch Code coverage integration.

NCrunch is an absolute must have tool, and it does code coverage very well. i'd like to see a way to get NCrunch Code Coverage data into NDepend.

Being able to read attribute property values

Being able to filter on attribute property values.

One example is to check categories on Test methods (i.e. the value from [TestCategory("IntegrationTest")]).

Rules: Provide possibility to search for code comments. Example: Count "TODO" or Count "HACK"

It would be interesting to see how many TODOs we have in code
Or how much we added in the last Sprint

Create an NDepend.CodeModel.IProperty interface

This would be especially handy to detect with CQLinq when a property is tagged with an attribute, and also to jump from the getter method to the setter method and vice-versa. So IProperty would have to implement the interface NDepend.CodeModel.IAttributeTarget

Halstead metrics in NDepend

I would like to strongly advise the implementation in NDepend, of Halstead metrics that are already available in CppDepend. I frequently used the CppDepend maintainability index and other economic metrics to justify important and strategic refactoring.

I utilize other tools to measure the scope and monetary values of changes in C# code base. Yet, I apply other formulas, but without the same accuracy. To apply different formulas may induce contradictions that I must explain, which transform my project meetings almost to courses in software engineering metric and indicators.

To hold the same metrics on both CppDepend and NDepend provides uniformity and good comparison baseline. Implementing the Halstead metrics in NDepend would help a lot to earn credibility to justify projects financings.

Be able to query methods parameters types

NDepend code model should propose a getter IType[] IMethods.ParametersTypes to be able to write certain code queries and rules, like security related ones.

Ability to export dependency graph as SVG

It will be very nice if there will be ability to export dependency graph as SVG image rather than PNG, it definitelly will be less in size and as a bonus it will be resizeable without loosing quality

Allow custom definitions similar to JustMyCode

The JustMyCode definition is really nice and useful. I'd like to have a similar concept for other things, e.g. JustMyBusinessLogic or JustMyDatabaseLayer. Today I need to create different NDepend projects and adapt the JustMyCode definition for each of them.

Customize pre-defined nDepend dashboard (non-chart)

Allow to change pre-defined or define new custom metrics (non chart) similar to '#Types', 'Third-Party Usage', 'Method Complexity', etc. on the dashboard so it is clear decrease or increase of a specific metric (comparisons with a baseline snapshot). This is useful especially when the increase is very small and might be difficult to follow on a chart.

Be able to remove some of the predefined stats from the dashboard similar to what is available with the predefined charts.

Ability to analyze NuGet packages

There are currently project types for analyzing a project/solution and for analyzing a folder full of assemblies.

Much of my work lately has been in creating smaller, standalone "framework" sorts of packages on an internal NuGet feed that different applications can consume. There isn't "a master project" that has all of these packages working together; instead it's different combinations of the packages.

I'd like to be able to analyze all of these packages in a single report without having to either manually download them all or create a "fake" project just for the sake of referencing them.

One way to do this might be to allow analysis on a packages.config file. Add the packages you want to the file, specify a target framework, and have NDepend download the packages (and dependencies) and basically run the same process as "analyze a folder full of assemblies."

I think this will be even more interesting as DNX and the new project structure picks up momentum - everything becomes NuGet package references rather than direct project or assembly references.
