Microsoft didn't run automatic code analysis tools as part of their code review process until 2017? What on earth was wrong?



> What on earth was wrong?

The automatic code analysis tools. Sure they existed, but they need to fit into a workflow and get approval for use (which takes about ten years in enterprise these days).


They wrote a bunch of them (StyleCop among others) for C#. And Intellisense which relies on being able to analyze code all kinds of ways. I find it hard to believe they didn't.
