CppDepend 2026.1: Quality Insights, Code Quest, AI Companion, AI Prompt Builder, Coding Skills, Code Insight, Custom Boards + Multi-language UI & Windows/macOS/Linux Support.

Modern codebases contain thousands of issues—fixing everything at once is unrealistic. Quality Insights helps teams prioritize work where it has the highest impact.
Issues are organized into actionable categories such as Critical Priority Fix, High Priority Fix, Design Fix, Readability Fix, and Long-Term Quality.
Track progress with technical debt metrics, trends, and targets to prevent regressions and plan refactoring realistically.

Ask questions in plain language: “Which classes are the most complex?”, “Where is technical debt concentrated?”, “What are the main dependencies of this namespace?”
Answers are grounded in your analysis data: metrics, issues, dependencies, call relationships, maintainability indicators, trends, and hotspots.
Jump from answers to action with shortcuts into Code Insight, Code Quest, and Quality Insights.

Implementation: maintainability ratings & trends, complex methods/types detection, code smells, naming consistency, and technical-debt impact.
Design: identify overly coupled components, unbalanced types, responsibility distribution issues, and architectural smells.
Safety: track compliance with CERT C/C++ and MISRA C/MISRA C++, and highlight risky patterns with clear severity.

CppDepend 2026.1 introduces a multi-language user interface, making adoption easier for global teams.
Available languages: English, French, German, Chinese, Japanese.
Perfect for distributed organizations enforcing shared quality gates and coding standards across regions.

Seamless IDE integration: CppDepend now fully integrates with Visual Studio 2026, delivering the same smooth experience you expect from previous versions.
Instant feedback: explore metrics, issues, dependencies, and architecture directly from the Visual Studio 2026 environment.
Ready for modern C++: analyze the latest C/C++ language features with accurate parsing, rules, and metrics.
No workflow changes: upgrade Visual Studio without breaking your existing CppDepend analyses, rules, or CI pipelines.

Query types, methods, namespaces, dependencies, metrics, and rules to get precise answers in seconds.
Get metrics on the result set (size/complexity/maintainability), issue counts & severity distribution, and technical debt estimation.
Export results to Text, XML, CSV, or visual formats like Call Graph and Code Map.

Turn your intent into an AI-ready prompt: Fix, Understand, Document, or Test.
Choose Light or Rich context: source code, metrics, issues, dependencies, call relationships, maintainability indicators.
Context is extracted from the CppDepend static analysis model for predictable, trustworthy AI answers.

For any assembly/namespace/type/method, get structure, metrics, and analysis results in a single coherent view.
Summary answers “Is this code healthy?” with size metrics, maintainability, technical debt, issue counts, and coverage.
Go deeper with tabs like Insight, Source, Code Map, and Call Graph to understand impact and refactor safely.

Compose dashboards with widgets: Rule, Query, Chart, Metric, Summary, Call Graph, and Gate.
Adapt boards for developers, tech leads, and managers—from refactoring hotspots to executive overview.
Make objectives measurable with Quality Gates (thresholds on metrics/rules/technical debt) and detect regressions early.

CppDepend 2026.1 is available on Windows, macOS, and Linux—so teams can standardize quality practices across environments.
Run the same analysis workflow everywhere: architecture, technical debt, trends, quality gates, and AI-assisted investigation.
Ideal for mixed developer fleets and CI/CD pipelines running on different OS targets.
