Here\u2019s what\u2019s new:<\/h4>\n

Our code assessment tool scans your solution at the source code level and identifies potential issues and dependencies that could pose challenges during the upgrade process. You will be provided with a comprehensive dashboard that provides an overview of issues across your entire solution and estimates of how much effort will be required for each issue to be remediated.<\/p>\n

Each issue in the report is categorized by severity, allowing you to prioritize your efforts. Whether it\u2019s a mandatory issue blocking upgrade or an optional issue identifying opportunities to take advantage of features available in the latest .NET framework, you\u2019ll know exactly where you need to focus your attention.<\/p>\n

\"Example<\/a><\/p>\n

Issues can provide exact locations within your source code where issues were detected, making troubleshooting and fixing dependencies a breeze. Easily navigate through projects and pinpoint areas that need attention. You can jump to a line that requires your attention, address issues and mark them as fixed, and save the current state of the issues and report so you or your coworkers can pick up exactly where you left off, making collaboration easier than ever. We also include relevant links to documentation, best practices, and community discussions to give you the guidance you need to tackle each challenge.<\/p>\n
