Portability Analyzer New [patched]
Portability Analyzer — What's New
We're excited to introduce the new Portability Analyzer: a faster, smarter way to assess how easily software, libraries, or workloads can move across platforms and environments.
The new generation of portability analyzers answers a far more valuable question: “Given this source code or container, what will break on Target X before you spend CPU cycles building it?” portability analyzer new
- Problem: Developers face significant hurdles when moving codebases to new platforms due to API incompatibilities and platform-specific dependencies.
- Methodology: The Portability Analyzer inspects assemblies (DLLs) and identifies dependencies on specific APIs. It compares these dependencies against a "catalog" of APIs available on the target platform.
- Outcome: It generates a detailed report highlighting which APIs are missing or obsolete in the target environment, effectively measuring the "portability index" of the application.
Gap Identification: It lists specific types and APIs that are missing from the target platform, helping you identify exactly what code needs to be refactored or replaced. Portability Analyzer — What's New We're excited to
The "new" way to handle portability is via the .NET Upgrade Assistant, which includes a dedicated "Analyze" mode: Gap Identification : It lists specific types and
