One of the best things about Visual Studio are the 3rd party tools and JetBrains makes some of the best.
Most people are familiar with ReSharper and love it for its refactoring, code analysis, and code navigation features. I have been using ReSharper since 1.0 and find it crucial for my development. For those of you running ReSharper 5, note there is a new maintenance release, 5.1, that was just made available and you can learn about here.
Along with ReSharper and dotTrace .NET Developer Tools, JetBrains has released a beta of dotCover, which is a code coverage tool for .NET and integrates with ReSharper. The description on the JetBrains website is as such:
“dotCover features include:
- Reporting statement-level coverage in .NET applications.
- Highlighting for uncovered code in Visual Studio.
- Detecting which tests cover a particular location in code.
- Integration with Visual Studio 2005, 2008 and 2010.
- Integration with ReSharper to show test coverage.“
With all the latest releases of several IDE's: PhpStorm, WebStorm, PyCharm, RubyMine, etc. as well as the awesome Visual Studio .NET Tools, one would think JetBrains would just release an IDE for .NET :)
