LabVIEW VI Analyzer Toolkit is a LabVIEW add-on that extends the features of VI Analyzer with common tests, APIs, Project Explorer integration, and a test creator utility.

The LabVIEW VI Analyzer Toolkit helps you perform static code analysis to improve the quality and readability of your LabVIEW code. The LabVIEW VI Analyzer Toolkit is a software add-on for LabVIEW that helps you improve graphical code developed in LabVIEW. With this toolkit, you can configure more than 90 included tests for automated code review and static code analysis of all VIs in an application, or you can create your own using the test creation wizard. The LabVIEW VI Analyzer Toolkit provides debugging tools that help you avoid improper coding techniques that could impact an application’s performance, functionality, or maintainability. In addition, you can enforce effective programming practices and coding styles within teams of developers to ensure code readability and functionality.

Tests

LabVIEW VI Analyzer Toolkit includes a wide range of tests in various categories:

Unless otherwise stated, these tests are available in LabVIEW VI Analyzer Toolkit 2009 and later.

API
