StyleCop – Clearing up confusion

bharry’s WebLog : Clearing up confusion

We found that StyleCop is, in fact, a very useful tool and it does things FxCop and TeamDev doesn’t do (and it doesn’t do the things they do). It is a wonderful complementary tool. StyleCop is a tool for doing coding style checking to verify that source code is formatted the way you want and follows the style guidelines for conventions. While there is some overlap with FxCop (like checking identifier capitalization), the overlap is miniscule as StyleCop does not do the deep analysis that the other static analysis tools do to enable code correctness checks, security checks, etc.

Good. I think this should be part of VSTS/VS in the future. Automate, automate, automate!
