Why dont you consider unit testing coverage to be a part of the maintability index? A method can be complex but as long as there are unit tests for it, it is much simpler to maintain.

Can you please compare in a few words what's the main difference between the "Analyze" menu, to other 3rd party source code analysis tools (Checkmarx, RATS, LINT, etc...)?

Does the analysis engine provide data flow analysis?

Is it possible to add custom metrics (locs per funcs ...)?

Thanks,

Jeff

In answer to some of the questions posted:

Q: Does the analysis engine provide data flow analysis?

A: No, at this time we do not perform true data flow analysis. We are looking at that for a future version.

Q: Is it possible to add custom metrics?

A: Not at this time, see http://blogs.msdn.com/fxcop/archive/2007/11/15/code-metrics-customization.aspx

A: I like the idea of including unit test coverage in a metric although I don't necessarily buy the idea that code with more tests is more maintainable. Low maintainability suggests high cyclomatic and computational complexity (halstead volume) which means there are a lot of paths and a lot of operators. If you make a change to that code which requires new tests and changes existing tests then you have to work out what the appropriate changes are, work out what the new tests should cover (and make sure they do), validate that the test results are correct etc. All of which is more work and more potential for error (including false passes).
