Visual Studio Extension for extracting architecture information

DeepEnds

Dive into architecture with DeepEnds...

DeepEnds is a tool to perform coupling and cohesion analysis on code. It produces DGML files for visualisation of graphs within Visual Studio and computes various metrics which can be placed in a CSV file or a HTML report.

Last updated as open source in February 2017 it has been taken closed source in an effort to make it maintainable.

deepends's Issues

Vs extensions

is there a vs extensions that generates .dgml output and open it when right click a solution (sln) or csproj file ?
we dont want to always open GUI panel and enter a path of project

Port DeepEnds to VS2017

As a user, I'm happy that I can finally use Visual Studio 2017 for development.
However, now I have to keep VS2015 just to be able to use DeepEnds.
That is inconvenient, therefore I suggest to make it available for VS2017.

The tool doesn't work when *.vcxproj.filters file is missing

Several of my VC++ projects have very simple structure and do not have *.filters files.
When I try to run DeepEnds, I get this dialog

and the DeepEnds console output says:

! Cannot find associated filter file of<whatever_path><project_name>.vcxproj

A have several tens of such projects in my solution, so to make DeepEnds work I had to write a script to create artificial *.filters files, as a workaround.

But it would be nice to have a decent proper solution.
