What is the Code Analysis Tool for .NET?

Posted: (EET/GMT+2)

 

Have you already heard about Microsoft CAT .NET, or Code Analysis Tool for .NET? If not, it might well be the time to do so. CAT.NET allows you to scan your source code using static analysis methods, and then responds with a list of possible security issues.

The tool can report on common problems such as XSS, SQL injection, file handling problems, and so on. Currently, the tool is in CTP mode, but it might well become finalized soon.

To download the tool, visit Microsoft Downloads.
