Intro:
Developer productivity is something that I invest time in. Few weeks back I wrote about how AutoReview tool can provide value code review insights for developing community.
Couple of weeks back another such toolkit came to play . Power CAT ( Customer Advisory Team) Tools was announced
By leveraging Power CAT Tools, developers can streamline their workflows, improve application performance, and ensure higher quality outputs
Setup:
Couple of ways to install. First would be from appstore. Few organisation doesn’t allow you pull from the appstore.
https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/dynamics-365/microsoftpowercatarch.powercattools
So if that doesnt work then workaround would be to install through the admin user panel.
Select the Power CAT Toools from the Dynamics 365 Apps
Demo:
Code Review - The Code Review Tool automatically checks your code to find potential problems early in the development process. It gives useful tips and suggestions for making your code better.
Ps - my personal preference is AutoReview but this is a good start as when you click on the result it would explain what best practice is for that observation
Solution documentation -
This feature would assist with documentation automates the generation of basic documentation details, significantly reducing the manual effort required. Either you can pick the solution from the environment or import the package. This is a working draft and depending on the organisation the template contents might have to be enhriched more. But a good start
Risk assessment - The Risk assessment feature evaluates potential risks in solutions exposed by dataverse security roles and provides actionable mitigation strategies
It's challenging to create a one-size-fits-all approach for code review and document generation. However, the extensive experience with various customers and the development of best practices have made it possible to build this tool. Kudos to the team for their hard work and dedication!
