CodeFactory was designed to help organizations improve software delivery velocity, maintain compliance with pattern standards, reduce effort to refactor code, runs natively within Visual Studio. Design time tool with zero reflection performance overhead. No residual code left in your solution. This solution is built to speed up releases without taking the shortcuts that can lead to technical debt. Trial version available upon request.

1. Extending Visual Studio™ for
Engineered Software Delivery
Streamlining the creation and sustainability of high quality software

2. Common Challenges to the
Software Delivery Process
 Budget Pressures
 Dynamic Scope
 Staff Attrition
 Immature Standards
 Team Integration
 Customer Demands
 Competing Projects
 Limited Resources
 Legacy Systems
 Technical Skill Atrophy
Note that these are not particularly technical in nature

3. These Challenges Often
Result in Specific Problems
 Infrequent Refactoring
 Technical Debt
 Copy-Paste Plumbing Code
 Dependent on Outdated Tools
 Overly Complex Source Code
 System Interdependencies
 Inconsistent Integration
 Coding Anti-Patterns
 Brittle Architecture
 Degraded Code Quality
 Excessive Re-Work
 High Support Costs

4. Interface-based design & architecture
 Interfaced-based design provides application
modularity, easing maintenance and enabling
effective code reuse.
 CodeFactory auto-generates application interfaces
ensuring easy assembly/refactoring while enforcing
consistent .NET design pattern adherence by all of
your development teams.

5. What is “Code Refactoring”
and Why Should I Care?
 Code refactoring is a technique for restructuring an
existing body of code without changing its external
behavior.
 Advantages include improved performance, code
readability and simplified maintainability of source
code.

6. Managing “Legacy Code”
When the Designer is Gone.
 Legacy systems often lack clearly defined
requirements, or inline code documentation,
greatly complicating refactoring.
 Many developers, when inheriting legacy systems
prefer to rebuild from scratch which is very costly
and disruptive to business users.

7. What is “Plumbing Code”
and Why Should I Care?
 Plumbing code recurs throughout a system
performing various tasks that are unrelated to
functional requirements, such as error handling,
logging, memory management, etc.
 When better “plumbing” methods are found, it’s
time consuming to update older instances with the
improved design, and as a result this is often
neglected, contributing to the Technical Debt of a
system.

8. Build Solutions Better.
With Code Factory™, much of an application can be
automatically generated to match a consistent pattern.
When application changes are desired the Code Factory™
author can modify the automation and apply changes without
losing code written by the development team in the interim.
Rely less on the skill levels of individual team members and
ensure design standards related to plumbing code are met
through automation.

9. Build Solutions Faster.
Probably the most important benefit to a business is the
reduction of time to build.
The use of software factories automate the effort needed to
construct “plumbing code”, or software logic that is
repetitive in nature.
For example, every application has, or should have, code for
handling exceptions, validating data, disposing of unnecessary
objects in memory, security authentication and authorization,
etc.

10. Reduce Technical Debt.
A significant source of technical debt is the result of
inconsistently implemented code. Development ‘shortcuts’
often include copy-paste behavior using a variety of code
snippet sources. With Code Factory™ generated code there is
a single style of implemented code, enabling applications
which are significantly easier to maintain and improve over
time. With consistent code delivery patterns across delivery
teams, design problems are easy to find and fix; and as
improvements are identified, they can be incorporated into
the CodeFactory automation and easily redeployed.

11. Zero Footprint
Code Factory™ runs natively from
within Visual Studio requiring no
additional libraries or application
code and no residual dependency

12. Simply Searchable
Code Factory™ provides a search
engine that allows authors to fully
search existing C# source code,
auto-generate data models of the
search results and expose those
models to the Code Factory™
developer.

13. Precision Targeting
Source Code Removal and Injection
into Classes and Structures (C#) -
Code Factory™ has native support
for removing and injecting code
into C# classes and structures.
Developers decide what
information to add and remove
from a class or structure without
having to rebuild the entire file.

14. Painless Updates
Code Factory™ allows authors to
define where generated output is
placed. It can replace content in an
existing code file, or tell Code
Factory™ to create a new code file
and place it into existing projects.
Since Code Factory™ is simply
injecting information into a file,
the data can be in any Visual
Studio supported language and in
any format.

15. Easily Extended
Code Factory™ provides a fully
functional SDK that allows
organizations to extend existing
pre-defined code factories (MVC,
MVVM, PAC), or create their own
from scratch. The SDK fully
integrates with Visual Studio and
allows developers to create,
debug, package and deploy
software factory templates to
meet the organization’s individual
needs.

16. Keeping it Relevant
Users of Code Factory™ will be able
to kickoff code automation actions
by right-clicking on an item in the
Solution Explorer. The Code
Factory™ actions are made to be
intelligent and only display if
applicable or relevant to an item
selected in Solution Explorer.
