Overview of this book

Traditionally associated with Windows desktop applications and game development, C# has expanded into web, cloud, and mobile development. However, despite its extensive coding features, professionals often encounter issues with efficiency, scalability, and maintainability due to poor code. Clean Code in C# guides you in identifying and resolving these problems using coding best practices. This book starts by comparing good and bad code to emphasize the importance of coding standards, principles, and methodologies. It then covers code reviews, unit testing, and test-driven development, and addresses cross-cutting concerns. As you advance through the chapters, you’ll discover programming best practices for objects, data structures, exception handling, and other aspects of writing C# computer programs. You’ll also explore API design and code quality enhancement tools, while studying examples of poor coding practices to understand what to avoid. By the end of this clean code book, you’ll have the developed the skills needed to apply industry-approved coding practices to write clean, readable, extendable, and maintainable C# code.

Chapter 10

  1. Code metrics are several source code measurements that enable us to identify how complex our software is, and how maintainable it is. Such measurements enable us to identify areas of code that can be made less complex and more maintainable through refactoring.
  2. Cyclomatic complexity, maintainability index, depth of inheritance, class coupling, lines of source code, and lines of executable code.
  3. Code analysis is the static analysis of source code with the intention of identifying design flaws, issues with globalization, security problems, issues with performance, and interoperability problems.
  4. Quick actions are single commands identified by a screwdriver or lightbulb that will suppress warnings, add using statements, import missing libraries and add the using statements, correct errors, and implement language usage improvements aimed at simplifying code and reducing the number of lines in a method.
  5. JetBrains’ dotTrace utility is a profiling tool...
