NDepend is a static analysis tool for .NET managed code that focuses on code dependencies and quality.

NDepend is a static analysis tool for .NET managed code that provides extensive code metrics and dependency visualization using directed graphs and a dependency matrix. It also validates code architecture, design, and quality rules, integrates test-coverage analysis, and enables trend monitoring through codebase snapshot comparisons.

NDepend comes with many predefined code rules that users can supplement with custom rules written in Code Query Language (CQL). CQL is very similar to SQL, making codebase queries much like querying a relational database. The tool can also automatically check code rules during continuous integration.
